Starting in 2011, SQLskills will be providing three 5-day classes and one 4-day class that will cover all the training material we think makes a well-rounded DBA. They aim to provide the training that will solidify your understanding of the required material, using only the best instructors - Paul S. Randal, Kimberly L. Tripp, Jonathan Kehayias, Brent Ozar, and Bob Beauchemin.
The four classes are as follows - click the link for a more extensive description of the material covered:
