MS Access SQL Injection

Online Penetration Testing class

I haven't decided yet how to spend my education budget.  I really want to attend the SANS What Works in Forensics and Incident Response summit, but I think it's too much for the company to pay for.  Then, the other day, I was reading Darknet, and I saw their posting on the eLearnSecurity Online Penetration class.  The price is pretty good, and I would really like to learn the network pen testing segment.  As I've been doing a lot of web application auditing lately, I wouldn't mind learning the tips and tricks to web applications as I think it will only help the auditing skills.

If you've taken any of the classes by eLearnSecurity, I'd like to hear your feedback.
