I took the 101 and 202 as a package deal as well. While I haven't taken the 202 class since it was revamped, I found them both to be highly useful (I suspect that it's even better now!). Just the books alone are worth the price of the class since they document many of the features and "hidden" commands most admins would never know about. That's also where I found out about this talk list and made some friends in the business who are local to me as well.
In short, If you're working with Filers on a regular basis, I highly recommend this class.
BTW, these classes are the same exact ones NetApp employees (from tech support to engineers) must attend. There were at least 4 employees in the same class I took.
If you have the opportunity, try to take it right in Sunnyvale. The area is beautiful and the training facilities are terrific. If you do decide to go, send me an email if you're looking for travel recommendation particulars.

Has anyone taken the "NetApp 202: Advanced System Administration and Troubleshooting for Network Appliance Filers class. And if so, was it useful?
