I haven't been through a MCSE bootcamp, but I have been through a CCNA bootcamp.
If you have PLENTY of experience already and need something to help you fill in the gaps so you can pass the test, then the bootcamp is appropriate for you. If you are anywhere less than advanced level already then there is way too much material they are trying to cover in a short period of time, it goes by very fast, and you most likely will have a lot of preparation after the bootcamp before you can pass the exam.
One big question, is why do you want an MCSE?

I teach MCSE boot camps, however ours are a bit different. First, we use ONLY official Microsoft courseware -- in contrast with some of the bogus third-party stuff I've seen. This costs more.
Second, we combine the courses to reduce duplication of content, but otherwise, teach exactly the same as the full versions of the course. (Including labs!) Hours are 08:00 to 18:00 normaly. Your brain will hurt! So, rather than a bogus boot-camp, aimed at passing exams only -- we deliver a full MCSE program in a shorter time, and stack the courses end-to-end.
We offer on-site testing, access to Transcenders, cram books, etc. etc. The cost, by the way, is about half that of the USA. (The company is in Germany.) All courses are taught in English, the major client is the US Military.
As an instructor, I can say quite honestly that cutting corners with third-party courseware and brain-dumps may get you past the exams, but won't get you far in the real world. There's no shortcut to successhere, I'm afraid.
