Are the O'Reilly / Useractive Courses Any Good?

IronBlade asks: "Hi all, I'm very interested to hear if the O'Reilly / Useractive Linux/UNIX System Administrator courses are any good. There are 4 units, and as they are offering them in a package (4 for the price of 3) until -Feb 15th-, I'm very interested in your opinion as to their worth. I have previous sysadmin experience on GNU/Linux and feel I have a reasonable grasp of things, but I don't have any proof of my skills, and certificates from the University of Illinois would be a Good Thing to add to the CV."

From my limited time working in HR i suggest one thing before you seek on line courses. One of the weakness of on line courses is the further away they are from your current or possible residences less credence they regard it with. I do not know of this course in particular but thats my feeling with a lot of on line courses.

Doesn't anyone know of cheaper online courses elsewhere?
