Novell groupwise ATT training

[LeeCRCNA]

Hi,
I'm looking for an opinion from someone who's taken Novell ATT (advanced techincal training) classes before.

Our company had a couple offices, the office I am located in is strictly windows/exchange/ActiveDirectory. Our Main office however runs netware and groupwise 7.
My boss wants me to start taking over some of their groupwise administration. So she wants me to take some training classes.

I have done a bit of work on their systems, pretty much just using consoleone on Windows to add/delete users, setup forwarding, memberships to groups, change password, and the like. I've never touched a netware machine at all, which is what our groupwise 7 is installed on.

The groupwise 7 ATT class says you need to have experience with groupwise to take it. Do you think my experience will be enough that I'll be able to keep up in this class?

The other option is just to take the standard Groupwise 7 admin course, not the ATT course, which doensn't list any prerequisites, and does cover installing GW on a netware machine.

Opinions?

The ATT course is by far the best GroupWise course you'll ever take. Hands on from an engineer that knows the product. You can't go wrong. Every student has their own lab equipment to do actual tasks.

Regular admin courses are crap. I would never recommend one.

You'll be able to pick up on Groupwise easy enough. I touched GroupWise for the first time in an ATT class and it was great.

Thanks for the feedback.
I booked the ATT class and also ordered the self study kit from the normal, non-att class to get a little more familiar with it before the class starts.
