I was wondering if there were any other independents out there (or anyone else for that matter) that wanted to split some training costs. There is a Digital Video Library program offered by IBM that appears to be pretty decent on a number of different topics in our fields of interest.
There are 2 different packages: the first is 5 courses for up to 3 students for $5000 (we would need to agree on the 5 courses). The second is unlimited classes (1 yr) for up to 5 students at $11,000. This second option also can be extended based on the number of people interested. It appears that although only one set of media is included, that we could burn copies for the number of registered students so that all of us would have our own copy.
The training plan and evaluation class can be reviewed at the link below. My areas of interest for this training would be: Java, XML, JSP, and WebSphere.

Thanks, and let me know if you’re interested.
