VASST is the best there is, without a doubt. Check out their site and their training DVD packages. Well worth every cent. They have appeared at B&H in the past.

John,
Sony normally teaches at NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) coming up in Las Vegas in April. As mentioned, VASST is a leader in Vegas training. In fact they have several Sony Certified Vegas Trainers and I believe they will be teaching at NAB as well as several other sponsored events. Of course, the DVD's at VASST are superb if you can't make the live training seminars.
