The Training Camp LPIC 1(
www.trainingcamp.net) is an excellant option. Ross is a great instructor. Take the one in PA though, the San Francisco set up still needed some fine tuning as of the May/04 classdate(I attended it).
As for pricing you may be ableto get them below 3k with a few students.
My only complaint was when I called to talk about a resit per their garunte, the prices where not in line with what was promised BEFORE I attended class. When I called them on it they just stopped returning my calls and emails.
