Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with IPv6 training courses.

A quick search turns up a few results on the subject, but it would be
handy to hear if anyone has any firsthand experiences or recommendations.
We're based in western Canada but don't mind traveling a bit, but
alternatively an online course would be acceptable as well.

Once you have IPv6 connectivity established (either native IPv6 or via a tunnel from anybody (for example tunnelbroker.net or sixxs.net) if you want a self teaching procedural guide where you can setup and test various IPv6 services (HTTP, SMTP, reverse DNS, forward DNS, host record glue) then you might checkout our free IPv6 certification service at:

http://ipv6.he.net/certification

It's a bit tongue in cheek and meant to be sort of like entertainment with education for engineers (for example the certification ranks are from "Newb" to "Sage"). By the time you are done you are done IPv6 won't seem weird. (In fact, you'll probably be thinking "that's it?!")

We are still adding tests and content as people suggest ideas, so if you
run through it and see a gap you'd like covered, let me know.

Alternatively, if you would like a free IPv6 Speaker/Trainer your group of 30 or more people, Hurricane Electric will fly IPv6 Evangelist Owen Delong to your meeting to present a tutorial on what you need to do to support IPv6 (for system administrators and network engineers), porting IPv4 programs to IPv6 (for software engineers), or another IPv6 topic you suggest. If you are interested, email ipv6 () he net
