[c-nsp] training classes

[Tom Ammon]

I've trained with Global Knowledge before and I highly recommend them. I 
took an MPLS class and I thought the lab materials were great.

I personally tend to learn faster in instructor-led environments, so 
this format is what I have stuck with. AFAIK, Global Knowledge uses 
remote labs for everything - at least, that has been my experience so 
far. It worked just fine, the instructor was prepared with login 
credentials, etc., etc. and I had no problems with it.

Also, if you take GK classes, make sure you look up Al Friebe. He 
teaches a pretty wide range of subjects and I have found him to be an 
excellent instructor.
