Oh I agree that training is critical.  I just wonder if spending the same 
kind of money, or more, on a computer based course beats an off site hands 
on lab.

I know full well that I am preaching to the choir here, and I also
know that I have been oddly unsuccessful with this argument, but can
you imagine any other endeavour where a company would knowingly place
untrained personnel in charge of mission critical systems?  An
untrained programmer is planting landmines in the code base every time
she mucks around in it.  A few thousand dollars seems cheap compared
to the losses a company can sustain when a large customer says 'ta-ta'
after a programming error fouls up the billing.
