I have been to DevelopMentors Guerilla COM and COM UI classes. I enjoyed the business trip to attend teh conference. I did learn, but they are very expensive and I would not attend if my company did not pay for it. As long as my company does offer to pay for trips like this, i take advantage of them.
I also think that it is more valuable to learn about the topic before you go, that way the instructor can reaffirm what you have learned.

I have attended a couple training courses. It was nice that my company paid for these, but I doubt if it was really worth the time and money. In one couse, I only used maybe 20% of what I learned in the course, and I probably could have learned that from books or other means.
Also, unless the material in the course is directly relevant to what you will do in the immediate future, you'll probably forget it... such as the 80% in the course that I *didn't* use.
The way I see it, if I want to learn something not too complicated, I either find a knowledgeable co-worker, or get a good book. If it is something substantial, I'd take a night class at a nearby college or something. One week training courses and the like would be a last resort.
The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Now, now, jealousy makes you nasty. No need to shoot us priviliged VB developers... All you have to do is see the light and come to our side.
But if you want we can team up against Java developers. Least kills gets to debug someone elses JavaScript code...

Reminds me DevelopMentor's Boot Camp and its more recent version: Guerrilla Camp
Don't panic. Consider this:
DevelopMentor has always taken pride in quality and amenities of our own training centers. But as nice as they are, we don’t have beds within walking distance of your development environment or the food service capability to serve you 3 meals a day. That is why our Guerrilla courses are always held at a groovy hotel and include your room and meal expenses.
