The classes are pretty darned good. I can't speak to the ones given
by their training partners, but the ones that Red Hat runs themselves
are really good.

However, you didn't mention where you'd be starting, or which classes
you were interested in.

The exam is damned hard, so be prepared. You really do have to know
what you're doing, and be able to demonstrate it, and be prepared for
a very long day of testing.

Also, the classes are expensive, so if you plan on starting with the
first class in the RHCE track and going from there, expect to pay a
LOT for it. HOWEVER, if you have a fair bit of Red Hat experience,
have some system administration experience and are good at
debugging/troubleshooting, your best bet would be to get a good book
or two, practice practice practice and perhaps even take some more
generic linux classes for less money.

This will give you a good overview of the RHCE track if you haven't
seen it yet:

I'd suggest you not go with just RH300 and Exam unless you are very
familiar with RHEL 5 though. That course is NOT a bootcamp, but more
just a 4 day review of the entire RHCE curriculum and the exam on day
5. If you are not already familiar with everything being covered,
you'll get lost in that one.

BUT, as I said, most, if not all, of it you can learn by going through
one of the RHCE books and practicing with a couple systems you can
break and fix.

So that's my general answer... if you have any specific questions,
throw them out there... I can't give too many details due to NDA, but
at least I can get you pointed in the right direction.

Cheers
Jeff
