programming/network administration schools

[crash3m]

My parent's recently offered to pay for some type of technical schooling for 
me.  I am interesting in programming or network admin.  I have checked with a 
few places about their training, but the best I've found is 2, 5 day $1500 
courses over c++ and various other crap on NT/2000 administration.  I was 
wondering if anyone knew of a good certification/training place in the KC 
Metro that offers courses several weeks/months in length (so I have time to 
use/apply the knowledge instead of trying to cram it all into a 5 day span.)
