As far as IBM courses go, my personal opinion is that you're better off
going to the source of the product for training and education than
going to someone else. IBM courses are, in general, excellent, whether
they are taught by IBM instructors or approved vendors.
It costs $4995 per year for an IBM Education card for one person. That
allows you to attend an unlimited number of IBM classes (AIX, Linux,
DB2, AS400, etc.) in one year for one low price. That's probably 2-3
classes in one year to make it worth the cost of the card.
if you consider that the average IBM class ends up lasting 35-40 hours,
it compares favorably with the duration of a university class. So, if
you take 3 classes in a year, the cost of the education card to cover
those 3 classes is about the same as a semester's tuition to a
moderately expensive university.
