Semitracks, Low Cost Semi Education?

Has anyone in the SemiWiki community dealt with Semitracks? If so could you please give us a view of your experience with them. It looks like Semitracks may have a online subscription model to technical education that I have been advocating for a long time. Could this be the future? Any opinions, comments and thoughts welcome.
 
$600 / day for training sounds kind of pricey to me, but then again they may be targeting corporate accounts with deep training budgets.

Failure and Yield Analysis | August 10-13, 2015 (Mon.-Thurs.) | San Jose, CA, USA - $2,195
Semiconductor Reliability | September 2-4, 2015 (Wed.-Fri.) | Munich, Germany - <del>$1,695</del> $1,595 until Wed. August 12
EOS, ESD and How to Differentiate | September 7-8, 2015 (Mon.-Tues.) | Munich, Germany - <del>$1,295</del> $1,195 until Mon. August 17
Product Qualification | September 9-10, 2015 (Wed.-Thurs.) | Munich, Germany - <del>$1,295</del> $1,195 until Wed. August 19
MEMS Packaging and Reliability | September 14-15, 2015 (Mon.-Tues.) | Boston, MA, USA - <del>$1,295</del> $1,195 until Mon. August 24

For many IT/Programming/Networking/Database training, $600 a day is probably not an unusual price. For example:

Daniel, Hist78, I was thinking more of the 500/yr online option. I did check out the sample course and found I like a tape of a live lecturer with a notes section better than straight text. I have seen very well designed automated courses and if done right, comparable or better than a live class. Let me know what you think of the online option and I'm going to touch bases with the company. I'll let you know what I find out.
