LearnSmart video training review?

Question

Hi
I am searching for Java and Oracle associate video trainings. CBT Nuggets is famous, but I don't like their presentations.
found LearnSmart (http://www.learnsmartsystems.com) their video training are only a few hours (too less?)

Official Oracle trainings are too expensive.

I have not taken any of their Oracle training. I signed up with them for a 'deal' one time that allowed me to pick any one course*. The Oracle courses were not included so I ended up taking their course for *1D0-541: CIW Database Design Specialist* because that was the only course available for a database topic in the 'deal'. That said I was not particularly impressed with the course. The video was professional enough. However, the course as presented spent a good 75% of the time on SQL. Since SQL is only one of ten sections in 1D0-541, that was ridiculously excessive. I'm confident that the instructor had used material from an 'Intro to SQL' style course for Microsoft SQL Server as the basis of the one I took, and just created a little bit of filler on the other topics to generate the one for 1D0-541.
That might be an exception to an otherwise great set of courses, but my introduction to their material was not positive. That said, I paid $1 for the deal. I will admit that I probably got more than a buck's worth of benefit from the course. :)
* Except for any of the courses I might actually have wanted to take.
