Hi Rachel,
I attended a MySQL weeklong training last October -- 2002. It was 2 days of querying and data manipulation and 3 days of administration. I did not have a very significant history with MySLQ before the training, but I had read the entire manual, so the first 2 days were very engaging. But since I had not done any real administration before hand, the administration training tended to all run together by day 3. To be fair, there were several experienced DBA's in attendance, so the pace by necessity was fairly brisk to meet the needs of the majority of the students. I guess I can say that the course at the very least gave me a solid foundation in MySQL basics and enough of a running start to feel comfortable with performing database backups and starting master / slave replication. I think the price is probably about average for tech training these days. The printed materials handed out were very good, but the print was tiny for these tired old eyes.
