J2EE Online Class or Video Class

I'm looking and getting some J2EE training through my company, but our local training company does not offer Instructor Led or Live classes. They want $3000 to sit me at a workstation and have me watch pre-recorded videos!

Can anyone recommend any other options?

I've looked at the VTC stuff, but I'm wondering if there is anything better out there?

.. i seriously think you should go and checkout for the videos from keystone tutorials. for me, they are 1 of a kind.....a rare jewel man.
