in CCNA & CCENT
I'd differ a bit from the other folks, but. . .
This class would be best if you've already studied for your CCNA, but need a little (and I mean a little) help from a live instructor to push you over the finish line.
A two-day boot camp is likely to focus highly on the exam as opposed to giving you a thorough background in the subject. There's a reason most boot camps are 5+ days anymore, regardless of which vendor certification they're specializing in. The vendors caught on to the cram-style boot camps and upped the ante to beat those. I went through one paid for by an employer, and saw a guy come in with no preparation at all expecting to pass his MCSE 2000 in a week. He did not do well.
On the flip side, I'm glad someone pointed out the IT Mentor program. . . I need it! The CCNA has been elusive, even though I passed Intro OK.

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
