We got training units as part of our purchase 3 years ago. The class materials were an improvement over the 
not-so-great documentation. CLI was not seriously covered. 

They really don't have a CLI. They have an XPath API that you can use within an SSH session. "set cli 
config-output-format set" will show you some things in a more IOS-style format, but it still doesn't make a lot of 
sense to me. I use the GUI for interactive things and XML API for scripting.
