programming/network administration schools

[Rohde, Drew]

My wife took a 10 week course covering Oracle at Step 1 last November
(called Conseva now, www.conseva.com).  It is a all day every day class/lab
and covered all information needed for OCP certification (exams not
included).

The price is non-trivial at around $13,000 but included a full Oracle Press
library of books, Oracle license and CDs, and a really sweet laptop.

They also offer training in severeral programming languages, including C++
and Java.  And they have since added a dedicated placement person to set up
recruitment of students, so I'm sure that is much better than when she went.

What she thought was good was that it gave a lot of time to digest the
information and do the labs.  Class content that is normally offered over 5
days will be drilled for 2-4 weeks.

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.)
