Not a scam at all.  I taught Java (as well as other courses like C and
C++) in a week for corporations.  These courses cost a lot more than
$238 Euros, but the corporations happily paid because they got results.

No, they were not expert programmers at the end of a week.  But they did
have the basics down and were productive.  They also had enough
information to have a good idea where to look for things they didn't know.

It paid well, but I got tired of all the travel.  It was fun for the
first 10 years or so, but 75K+ air miles and 25+ weeks away each year
wasn't much fun any more.
