Really I think the best training is on-the-job training. This needs to
include looking at how other Ada developers do things. Thus the best
course would be to do some projects in Ada. Of course, as Joe hinted,
relying on on the job training is not the most efficient course for a
company. But as an engineer I think you'll learn most quickly and deeply
that way.
