Was it too much info and too long? I'm not sure I can dedicate being away from the family from 7am (leave house) to 8pm (arrive home) for 5 days straight. If I do the class online I fear I won't be able to truly interact with the teacher as much. I'd like to get the VCP5 certification, but it's not critical at this time. I'm mainly taking this class because I've managed vmware for about a year but only for what I HAVE to do. I want to get a better understanding of what I'm doing and better decision making in designing new environments.

I can't really add much more to what I said in the main body of this post - the extra material and labs over and above the Install Configure Manage course make the days long, but Fast Track is better in terms of VCP readiness.
