Hi Donnie,
No offence but is there any way to take this topic from the level of
hearsay to something meatier?
I did a quick search for 'nagios training' and found (too) many
companies offering Nagios training in countries such as the USA,
Canada, Germany, India, UK. I couldn't find any of them on Nagios'
reseller list and they only have one authorized training partner on
this page:
https://www.nagios.com/services/training/
Maybe my browser is not rendering the page correctly and there's more
of them but it doesn't look like it.
Otherwise, the unofficial training dwarfs the official offering and
some of these companies have been around for years.

Well, the good news is that we are beta testing version 2 of the 303
objectives right now:

And Nagios isn't on the exam any longer.
