Cecil, I'm familar with DevelopMentor - in my opinion, their database curriculum is OK/good - ours is better. :)

We also offer the advantage of training via video conferencing and LiveMeeting - if you have a strong internet connection at home and you can put both your computer and a TV screen in the same room, you can participate in our training via video conferencing. (I think we offer the option of allowing people to rent a PolyCom unit - I'll have to check on the arrangement).

Our virtual classrooms average about 10-12 students per class...sometimes more, sometimes less, but average of 10-12.

Before I got involved with them, I had a rather dim view of video conferencing for training - but their infrastructure is impressive and it seems about as close to everyone being in the same room as possible.

We offer 10 week masters programs in .NET, SQL Server, and SQL Business Intelligence. I run the BI curriculum and I'm also involved in the SQL curriculum. The cost of the 10 week program runs from 20K - 23K (financing is possible), although you can take individual weeks for 2K -2.3K each. Our student labs are unusually intensive and challenging.

With the 10 week program there is also career services. I'll be honest - even in today's economy, our career services placement team has been extremely successful in placing people. Obviously, there are never guarantees, but I've been amazed at how well our career services people have been doing.

For years I had a rather low opinion of technical schools, have seen both materials used as well as the "top" students (and I'm being facetious) who graduated from them. So I told myself if I ever got involved with a technical school, I'd make damn sure that the curriculum would arm people to the teeth.
