I'm an Adobe Certified Instructor and I can tell you that the
instructor makes all of the difference.
I'm not sure where you took your class but my former employer Fig Leaf
Software is one of the best providers of onsite and hands-on training.
I think self paced training is good, but it lacks the interaction with
an instructor. If you can afford training I suggest something like lynda.com
to augment the class. You should read and watch videos so you can
challenge your instructor...
Just my two cents.

Just as an aside, I don't think much of the Adobe Certified Training
companies. Our company purchased training for ten people here and I
sat in on it (I had about six months of self taught Flex at the
time). Basically the course consisted of running through the "Flex 3
Training from the Source" book. You could have gotten just as much
at a lot less cost by reading that book. As far as the trainer; I
knew way more than he did.
The online video's and reference are a much better learning material
than any other I have seen.
