Siebel Analytics Training

[jumoe]

We are purchasing Siebel Analytics 7.7, upgrading from nQuire 3.0.
We would like to attend 2 classes given by Siebel Analytics Training (listed below), but it is cost prohibitive at $1000 per day plus airfare, hotel, & expenses.
--Analytics: Application Developer (Siebel 7.7)
--Analytics: Server Architect for Standalone Implementations (Siebel 7.7)

I have 2 questions:
1. Have you attended either of these classes? Were they worth your time & money?
2. Have you found any other training for these products that was less cost prohibitive?

Thank you for your response.

I did attend the Server Architect class and my colleague attended the Developer class. My first question would be how much experience do you have with the tool? If you have a lot of experience with this tool (metadata & reporting)I would only recommend the developer class considering that most of the changes are on the reporting side. The server architect class was more of a refresher.

Please let me know if you would like more detailed information and we could possibly arrange a call.
