If your goal is to have people with a piece of paper that says CCNP, 
then the $7-10k bootcamps are the way to go.  If your goal is to have 
people who are competent at IP networking and Cisco configuration and 
troubleshooting, consider the Cisco Academy classes taught at many 
community colleges.  Substantially less costly but a much slower (like a 
few semesters instead of a week) and more thorough process.
