[Chester LUG] MSc in open source technology

[Stuart Burns]

I found this by googling:

http://www.koenig-solutions.com/training/red_hat_training.asp?currid=7&jb=GoogleAd&gclid=CM_J_sOjvYoCFTwHQgodAVs-tw

Basically a fast track 30 day course in India, trained to a RHCE for ~ £1900
or fast track 17 day for £1160

That includes everything but your flight.

Intriguing prospect
