Suggest you look into instruction from the

                    MIACO Corporation  (Main Office)
                    The Cascades
                    6300 S. Syracuse Way

                    Englewood, CO 80111  (303)741-0381

      They also have offices/training centers in Atlanta/Chicago/Dallas/Madison/
                      New York/Orlando/Piscataway,NJ/San Fransisco and
                       Washington D.C.
                                     
      I am a DBA at the Air Force Academy.  We have used Miaco for all of our 
      follow-on training after initial classes at ORACLE and have found them to be 
      preferable and much cheaper.  Their analysts have all had hands on 
      experience in some job in the field.  They hire people with experience not 
      just with training.  They will tell you things about Oracle that Oracle will not 
      tell you.  They have teams of analysts whose sole job is to break Oracle
      or whatever software they are testing to find out what makes the software 
      tick.  
      Miaco also covers UNIX, DB_at_, Sybase, C, Case, Client/Server...

      I highly recommend them.
