VMware VCP Certification

Hi,
I checked the VMWare website for their certification and there it was mentioned that you need to complete their course and give the certification for being VCP certified. But their course fees are around $3500+taxes which is a bit too much. What i wanted to figure out is, whether it is possible to give the VCP certification exam before taking the course.
What i mean is, i will undertake the course once i have cleared the exam. That way i wont feel as bad to pay for the course since i would be guaranteed to be VCP certified.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Jeff

It's around $1000 instead of the 3500 for traditional training. As soon as more of these online offerings are available it'll drive down the cost of the traditional traaining I think.
Taking this course also gives you a discount voucher for the test.
I thought I pretty much did, but here it is from the horse's mouth so to speak.

Even our resident VMware instructor, Scott, posted in there. So I'd pretty much take that as gospel.
I've trained a number of students who've done things "the wrong way round"
