Our training budget has been slashed so I'm looking for some reputable computer based training for our DBA team for SQL Server 2008. Does anyone have any experience with a good computer based training site?
Thanks,
Elizabeth

First, read Jack Corbett's blog entry. http://wiseman-wiseguy.blogspot.com/2009/08/no-training-budget-still-no-excuse.html
Second, I'd honestly say that most of the exercises and things you need to do are practice with concepts. I'd recommend that you get a book on SQL Server and work through it chapter by chapter. As you find things, try them out on an instance, maybe even search for questions on the topic in forums like this one, and then work through them. Ask questions here, and we'll help. It will probably get you a lot if you dedicate some time and effort.

Thanks for the input, Steve. We have books and most of the DBAs are certified on 2005, but want a CBT to get us relatively quick training on the changes in 2008. There are quite a few CBT training sites out there and I was looking for a recommendation of which ones other people had used.
This site has been a great help to me, which is why I posted the message here. I'm looking forward to becoming proficient in SS2008.

Best of luck.
I haven't tried the CBTs, so can't recommend one.
One other thing I'd suggest is that you work as a group, study style, and help each other.
