Both websites will point you to official training.
And yes... we're talking about thousands of dollars.

IMHO, I'd get the books, do the work on your own computer and take
the tests.

Unless you can have your company pay for the classes.

As with most certification programs, you can't simply swipe
Red Hat's/SUSE's materials and train using your own pricing.
It's just not allowed.  In fact, often times the cost of
materials from Red Hat and SUSE will force you to charge
something pretty high even if you could control that.


Just my opinion.
