Well, I'm not sure that it's an official offering, but our local office,
Rockville, Md, put one together for us.  It was taught here at PRC and we
had a bunch of students.  I'm not sure that you can them to teach just one
or two students since it was a special.  The class was called "HP-UX Theory
of Operation"  and it was taught by Brenda Suarez-Merril (sp?) and Andy 
Suchoski (Our SE).  This class is taught to SE's but Rockville offered to
teach it locally to some large customers.  We got a nifty book with the
course.  We asked that our course be skewed to the 800 series and it was.

There is also a deeper course called "HP-UX Internals" taught to SE's.
The Rockville office doesn't offer this, but they told us that if we paid
enough to cover prep time, it could be arranged.  We declined.

We have a pile of source code licenses including one for HP-UX itself.  This
was one of the prerequisites.  This prerequisite is why this course won't
be generally offered.  Even if HP waived the HP-UX source license requirement,
there is still the murky issue of the AT&T UNIX license.

           You can't which way the train went by studying its tracks.
