I've trained with Global Knowledge before and I highly recommend them. I took an MPLS class and I thought the lab materials were great.

I personally tend to learn faster in instructor-led environments, so this format is what I have stuck with. AFAIK, Global Knowledge uses remote labs for everything - at least, that has been my experience so far. It worked just fine, the instructor was prepared with login credentials, etc., etc. and I had no problems with it.

Also, if you take GK classes, make sure you look up Al Friebe. He teaches a pretty wide range of subjects and I have found him to be an excellent instructor.

FWIW, for instructor-led classes, I have heard recommendations for Firefly
and GlobalKnowledge. I can't personally vouch for either, so I'll maybe let
someone follow up to this with their relevant testimony. :)

As for which style, I think it's more of an individual preference as to
which environment you function better in. I like to be in the same room as
the instructor and the equipment. Most of my training is informal
(self-taught or through real world trials), but the little bit of formal
training I have received I feel like I am best suited to an in-person
course.
