Yep, albeit quite a while ago. At the time, the training was very
good. It covered the subject well, and the tutor was knowledgeable and
helpful.

In the short to medium term, you'll be fine. You're unlikely to see a
startup picking Solaris as their platform of choice. But big business
still uses it extensively, and even were Oracle to scrap it tomorrow,
the job market for Solaris skills would still be around for many years
yet. And I'd guess Oracle will choose not to scrap Solaris, but will
milk it for a few more years to come.
