SQL Training

Hey,
So work is offering to pay for training on SQL Server.
I already know a fair amount of SQL Server stuff, but I need to get up to speed on better queries, advanced T-SQL, and overall SQL Server managment (triggers, views, DTS, etc.).
Can anyone recommend a really solid training program that covers SQL server? In the past, a lot of "training classes" have been little more than "here's how to use the wizard to do X" and I'm really looking for something that really comes to grips with SQL server and gives a better insight into the structure of SQL and SQL Server.
Thanks
Tom

2) Get the Guru's Guide To SQL Server boxed set. It's the best set of guides on programming and internals.
3) Lastly... don't bother having them train you on SQL Server until 2005 training is available. Remember when we were working with 6.5 and then had the jump to 7 and everything changed? 2005 is going to be a similar deal. You'll be learning obsolete stuff if you don't learn 2005.
