I have taken training class from ORACLE and 3rd parties, and I think the quality of the class is almost completely dependant on the teacher. Good teacher, good class. Stanky teacher, you get the point.

One word of advice: don't try to condense a class or classes. My company, in an effort to save money, had ORACLE combine their DBA I and DBA II classes (two weeks) into a single one-week class, for our novice DBA's. Needless to say, it didn't go very well. You get what you pay for.
