I have no personal experience with them but they have not gotten the LPI
Approved Training mark. I've looked over their website and I would have
a couple of points.

1. They require MS software due to their DRM mechanism. Both of these
requirements kind of go against the grain of the whole Linux movement.

2. Their content is most likely generic. Since they don't use Linux to
serve the video up I wonder how much hands on they would be giving you.

I would recommend installing Linux and getting very hands on with the
command line, the man pages, and the info pages to start. The best way
to pass the tests is to know what you are doing by doing it!

Good Luck!
