SANS is a very well-known training and eduction organization in the field of 
information security. They do a lot of independent security research as 
well. In terms of jobs, I know most employers look for actual degrees and 
certifications over "I've taken some classes", but SANS offers their own 
certifications as well as training in other certs.

I took a local SANS couse for preparing for my CISSP exam and it was very 
helpful. The boot camp is much more thorough and elaborate, from what I've 
read and heard from others.

You could very easily do worse than taking a SANS course.
