Bluecoat Certifications

Hey guys, been lurking here for a while and found some great resources for my CCENT so i am hoping you'll be able to help me out once again. I have been assigned to my work's Bluecoat support team and need to get my BCCPA and BCCPP. However, my employer also refuses to pay for the Bluecoat training program so I am on my own here. Anybody have recommended study materials for either of the certs? I was hoping CBT Nuggets would have something but sadly I don't believe they've expanded into Bluecoat products yet.

From what I've seen and know, taking the class is one of the few ways to get materials to study for the tests. I did a quick search on Amazon and was able to find a Blue Coat book from 2012 that looks like it goes over the basic features. I'm not sure the book is enough to get you to pass the test though.
