I am going to enroll in the VM on line training. My company does not offer any tuition assistance. Therefore, I have to pay for the whole thing myself. Can you tell me ( or anyone else) out of the classes listed below, which are kindy price for my pocket, if the Install Configure manage provides enough training to pass the exam. Don’t know if I can afford the Fast Track option which I am told provides 90% of what you need to pass the exam.<br /> Any advice would be very helpful. I am very interested in Virtualization and would like to kick my career up to the next level. Therefore, I feel getting the cert would provide that opportunity but don’t want to kill by budget doing so if I don’t have to.<br /><br />VCP 5 Prerequisite:<br />(Attend one of the following 3 courses below)<br />VCP 5 Class Cost VCP Days Hours<br />What’s New 5.1 $1645 or 17 credits VCP 5 2 16<br />Install Configure Manager V5.1 $3845 or 39 credits VCP 5 5 40<br />Optimize & Scale V5.1 $4495 or 45 credits VCP 5 5 40<br />Fast Track V5.1 $6045 or 61 credits VCP 5 5 50<br /><br /><br />Thank you Very much,<br /><br />Margaret <br /><br />P.S.

There is no single training course that will cover every single objective - the Fast Track for vSphere 5 gets the closest to doing that. I tell my students that the exam cannot be passed by just reading/memorizing - you will get questions in the exam that can only be answered by those that have done hands-on.Scott Vesseyhttp://vmwaretraining.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737780493976230024.post-7819750616004383472012-02-04T17:46:03.707+00:002012-02-04T17:46:03.707+00:00scott, as an instructor. do you feel the icm cour...scott, as an instructor. do you feel the icm course and some hands on are enough? better yet, does the course cover the topics and would the hands on solidify the material for the student, or is the hands on more important than the course? thanks in adnvance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737780493976230024.post-39508033172828546262012-02-03T08:17:08.294+00:002012-02-03T08:17:08.294+00:00Actually it's obvious that the exam overlaps s...Actually it's obvious that the exam overlaps since the base(vSphere) is still the same. <br />I'll do the exam in a few weeks and I think it shouldn't be to difficult if you know the basics and focus on the new parts(as VCP4). <br /><br />And thanks to you I've got a good source for my learing task ;)regnorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06725552282025451050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737780493976230024.post-73014168591003863322012-01-31T08:56:36.485+00:002012-01-31T08:56:36.485+00:00@regnor - as there is inevitably some overlap betw...@regnor - as there is inevitably some overlap between the objectives in VCP4 and VCP5 there are items in the VCP5 exam that can be similar to the VCP4 exam.Scott Vesseyhttp://vmwaretraining.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737780493976230024.post-33895386625324337642012-01-28T16:31:15.746+00:002012-01-28T16:31:15.746+00:00Does the VCP5 exam come with a new pool of questio...Does the VCP5 exam come with a new pool of questions or are there still some questions from VCP4?<br />I've done some mock exams from VMware and many questions were simmilar to the old on which I've seen in v4.regnorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06725552282025451050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737780493976230024.post-57654272801016720242011-12-21T10:22:43.544+00:002011-12-21T10:22:43.544+00:00Hey Scott
