Hi

Although this is not training material, it might be good to look at, to see what FOSS software is available ( this can be used to do the training )

Look at here for the Xubuntu based Live DVD - http://live.osgeo.org/

has over 40 GIS related software - http://live.osgeo.org/overview/overview.html

Hi -

The OSGeo Education and Curriculum project has a database
(http://www.osgeo.org/educational_content) with a good bit of training
material listed.
