I've taken the instructor led Sun certification classes and they were great, but terribly expensive. I think it was about $3000 per class and there were 3 classes in the certification track.
I also used a set of computer based training CD-Roms when I was a help desk guy who wanted to do Unix. The Unix manager told me to get with his admins to come up with some training stuff and that is what they recommended. They were from a company called National Education Training Group. They had a 7 disk Unix set covering basic Unix topics, sysadmin topics, tcp/ip networking, and shell scripting. They were $150 each, or just over a grand for the set. Combined they cost 1/3 of what just one of the sun classes cost, and it gave me a good enough foundation that when I got promoted from help desk to junior Unix admin I was very well prepared.
If you want more info email me and I'll try to dig up the titles at home. They might still be availible from NETg.
