I'm not speaking on behalf of my companies Education Division, however: Getting a 'course' added to any education/testing facility is difficult because of: (1) Machines (2) Course Materials (the meat of the 'class') (3) Standardized Testing a. Levels? b. Specialties (FreeBSD Networking, FreeBSD SysAdmin..) (4) Instructors (5) Location All of these are big reasons why courses are so high now-a-days. I understand that Cisco Certified people have to go to one of three places in the country to finish their lab requirement, and that's just speaks to how hard it is to coordinate such an effort. In other words: For this to work, we would have to have standardized tests and corporate support, as well as a network of (qualified!) instructors.
