Hi Arno,
I found the OOAD courses run by Rational to be excellent (apart from the marketing spiels in the middle). A lot depends on the experience of the lecturer/trainer (i.e. If the trainer has a technical background, then the course goes into more detail), but the course is structured very well regardless. It covers Object Oriented theory (in detail) and the use of UML. The activities are all relevant and hands on. It doesn't include Rose training - that's a separate course. It depends on what you mean by quite experienced. Do you know the meaning of and definition of "polymorphism" and "generalisation", the UML representation of these and when to use them? (As an example) - This is the type of stuff that is covered in the OOAD course. (E.g. Different types of classes, when to use them, how to model particular scenarios, when you should use inheritence and when you shouldn't). The Requirements Management for Use Cases course is very much aimed at Analysts - it's more about how to facilitate requirements gathering using OO techniques and methodologies, when to do what (in RUP), problem identification and structuring use cases. I found that it was more basic than the OOAD course. I've also done OOAD subjects at University - when comparing the two, Rational's is actually taught better.
