I agree it sounds awfully suspicious. No reputable consulting firm would offer something like that. At best they are a "body shop" that will throw you into a job opening and take their fee, then you'll be on your own to make it work. And with no unix background and only 4 weeks of training I find that pretty unlikely no matter how smart and well educated you are. Unless it's an entry-level job like helpdesk, but I don't see how they'd offer you 4 weeks of training for a entry level job like that.
I would recommend avoiding this. I know tons of people (including myself) with M.S. or Ph.D. degrees in sciences that ended up as I.T. workers so the career path isn't the problem. This particular proposal is the problem. It seems very likely to not be in your best interest.
