Two people have now mentioned Wyvern for Linux training, so I phoned David Cox 
there. He said they've ran the course once with some government funding and 
will run the course again commercially if they get enough interest.

I said I'd post a message to the Slugbug and Sheflug lists to see what 
interest there is. The LPI course leads to a Linux Professional Institute 
certification. The cost would be a few hundred pounds, depending on the 
number of participants. It's possible to get 40% funding towards training 
costs from the Learning & Skills Council (for many types of training, not 
just this course).

Course curriculum likely to be similar to:

LPI:

If anyone's interested in taking this course in Sheffield, please mail me so I 
can pass on an idea of numbers.

Thanks
Gary
