I've learned more from the books that I bought than I did the class. I took a class with learning tree. It was good but not great. I would recommend the following books.


Inside SQL Server 2005: T-SQL Querying
Inside SQL Server 2005: The Storage Engine

Hands-On Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services

SQL Server 2005: Administrators Companion

Unfortunetly i wouldn't get time at work to read the books, I'd have to get out of the office to get anything done. I didn't want a noddy microsoft course that spends most time running through labs that you'd either not use or just a waste of everyones time.

I will say that the labs from Learning Tree were good. I did walk away with a whole CD of very useful scripts.
