They are good and short. You can complete their Video Course for 12 hours. I did run the video course for 4 weekends in a month.<br /><br />Additionally you should practice with the Exam Prep's there are a lot and pretty much all are the same. Personally I did use an app from app store called VCP VMware Certified Professional on VSphere5 - Exam Prep. It is very convenient and practical to have the practice exam in your hands at all time "I was literally practicing even when I went to the toilet" the benefits of technology this days.<br /><br />You should be able to pass after all of this. I hope this was helpful enough.<br /><br />Serpil Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657528331645358767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737780493976230024.post-53274758741571237182013-09-05T00:08:22.111+01:002013-09-05T00:08:22.111+01:00All VCP certifications have a training requirement...All VCP certifications have a training requirement - CBT Nuggets does not meet that requirement.

I took the vSphere 5 course and using my VMs to redo all those labs. So far so good. I used a Linux VM to act as the iSCSI server and NFS server to exercise the datastore exercises. I am also getting a new laptop with 32GB to play with 2 ESXi hosts (certainly virtual) to finish all the labs. Then I will go for the certification.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11578491015734015662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737780493976230024.post-40981279727872756302012-05-09T21:57:34.838+01:002012-05-09T21:57:34.838+01:00The long answer is: dumps are created by cheats - ...The long answer is: dumps are created by cheats - they don't really help anyone, and VMware update their exam content regularly to keep one step ahead too.

First off - I am VTSP 5 certified through a partnership program. This was a free online course, with 6 modules and 8 Hours of technical content, followed by test after each module. As I said - This was Free. Question is -<br /># For getting certified in VCP 5, do I have to attend any pre-requisite courses offered by VMware ?<br /># I saw the online version of the training in VMWare site, and they charge ~5K for the fast track course online. I dont have that kind of money. Do I necessarily have to train with VMWare, or do you know of any cheaper alternatives you can recommend ?Any help or suggestion will be accepted with grace. Thanks in advance and have a Lovely weekend.Dharamhttp://www.linkedin.com/in/dharamkrishnamurthinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737780493976230024.post-37965946650537522082012-03-30T16:01:24.510+01:002012-03-30T16:01:24.510+01:00Hello Scott, May u suggest me some good videos so ...Hello Scott, May u suggest me some good videos so that i can try learn myself or some tutorials ???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737780493976230024.post-69040166780454535672012-03-05T11:09:08.892+00:002012-03-05T11:09:08.892+00:00@Anonymous (Mar 5, 2012) - the exam cost is curren...@Anonymous (Mar 5, 2012) - the exam cost is currency-specific - the base price is US$175.Scott Vesseyhttp://vmwaretraining.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737780493976230024.post-69006479531301371422012-03-05T10:00:43.586+00:002012-03-05T10:00:43.586+00:00How much is the cost of the exam?How much is the cost of the exam?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737780493976230024.post-89562583538816092142012-01-04T14:10:26.301+00:002012-01-04T14:10:26.301+00:00@Anonymous (4 January 2012) - I did post my own re...@Anonymous (4 January 2012) - I did post my own review of the exam, I need to add it into the main body of this post, but click on the VCP5 tab and you'll find it.
