I also attended the OPSA course at Black Hat and found it a good use
of my time and budget.  After speaking with other Black Hat Training
attendees during lunches, many of whom seemed unhappy with the other
course offerings, I felt that I made a good choice at least with regards
to that particular conference. 

In general I felt it was more geared towards consultants than internal
testers, and wish it would have been available a few years ago when I
was consulting.  This is the course that those of you who manage a professional
services group wish that your consultants had.  Very business oriented
and complementary to technical skills, although technical enough for
anyone inexperienced with pen-testing.

I think that the material will prove very useful as I perform "internal
consulting" to the technical teams and managment at my company.

Overall I felt that the course description did a good job of setting
my expectations for the material presented, and I wasn't disappointed.
