A couple months ago I was looking for some courses that could cover the new tools available on linux to measure performance: in kernel and user space. My main frustration is that there was no sign of any structured course that instruct on all these tools, and as importantly, when to and not to use each of them. Before you tell me again: no, youtube videos and blog posts are not good enough: I need to be able to sing up multiple members of different teams and be sure we all receive a homogeneous knowledge. Can Anyone share any pointers about where I could find this kind of training?

I used to work at a consulting firm called EfficiOS[0], specialized in OS and application efficiency and performance. They maintain the LTTng[1] kernel and userspace tracers and related tools, and offer training. I'm not sure whether that responds to your specific needs, but if you get in touch they'll certainly be able to guide you.

say how much you're willing to pay for it, and I'm sure somehow will build the course for you.

I've been hunting for such a thing as well, though I'm guessing your hunt is for much higher quality than mine. I've not been able to find anything BUT based on what I've been watching and reading (yes, youtube and blogs) it wouldn't be much work to assemble a reading/viewing list from youtube/blogs and that might just work for you given that there might not be a perfect solution out there. The market for advanced high quality dedicated training on really advanced things is probably rather small (just my guess).
