I'm interested in doing the secure,deploy 4 day course so I can take the VCP exam, as you probably know all in all its about 2k anywhere you take. I dont suppose anyone knows of any vouchers promotions etc to make it cheaper as I going to fund the course myself.

I am going to contact the place hosting the course and see what they say but just wondered if any CFers had any ideas.

 

Eh. whos guys!?

 

if you are not fussed about the course attendance requirement for the VCP (ie, you dont want to take it) then you can do the courses a lot cheaper

VMWare are pretty draconian with their training and their trainers, we were thinking of getting me up to speed as a VMWare trainer to offer courses but VM would of required that almost 50% of my time be allocated to 'them' for them to send me wherever they wanted to run courses, I think not!

 

Thx Phoenix, I actually want to do the VCP though as I am using esx alot at work (nobody else dare touch them) so I might as well get the t-shirt. The cost of the course seems to be what it is and I dont really mind paying it (as I'm hoping that and other certs will pay me back and then some as I move jobs), just thought I'd throw it out there to see if there are any discounts available. Dont ask dont get!

 

nothing wrong with spending money on your personal development mate, one of the best investments you can make
just be sure to spend some cash on a home lab too ;)

 

got a couple of dell sc440's with esxi on them, so will have to see about some kinda esx trial versions coupled with virtual center. but yes lab bases are reasonably covered. Not quite as extensive as zeb's mind you!

Work said I could nab a couple of the physical servers I've virtualised as well for "testing" purposes.

 

We use www.qa.com for our training at work.

I think, that if you phone the provider up and explain that your looking to do a course, but can be flexible in relation to dates, they will *probably* fit you onto a course to make the numbers up at some point.

Be cheeky, what harm can it do?
