Inexpensive VMware Training Options

Mallet413

I emailed Mr. Huneycutt to find out where I was on the waitlist and didn't really get an answer. Anybody know if we can call the school to check about specifically when we might expect to get the chance to register?

btw ... I just came across another way to waitlist yourself: https://vmware.stanly.edu/waitlist.php

Called Jana yesterday and was told I am #139 on the waitlist, while 120 spots are available for the Aug class. Can't remember when I added myself, but I think it was at least a month ago.

She emailed the 1st 120 yesterday. The email was in my spam folder. So if your pretty sure you should have a spot for August and didnt get an email from Jana, check your spam!

Sounds Good

You saved me! I called Jana today to find out where I was on the waitlist and she said an e-mail was sent out yesterday to fill out the form. I checked my e-mail and didn't see anything, then checked my spam folder and there it was.

Had I not read this thread, I would've never found it and probably would've missed out.

Thanks ITMonkey and Mallet413!!!!

I'm slightly ahead of you in the queue and my name went down on May 31st. I'd accept either August/October course. Looking forward to it.

Are we talking about summer and fall of 2014 here?

Sounds Good

2013. August session.

You pretty much had to have waitlisted back in May

Radiohead316

Just waitlisted yesterday. Hopefully I can get in for the October course, but January is fine too. At this price, it's worth the wait.

Kinet1c

Anyone on the wait list been contacted for enrollment in to August?

tstrip007

I'm on the WL for August and have not been contacted yet. Been checking spam as well.

Can people from other countries do it. How much is the cost for the course and then how much is the exam ?

I am taking the class right now. Total for me was $180 as I did not get the books. You'll have access to a full working lab assigned to you. Keep in mind it is a bit slow. Ping nhuneycutt2262@stanly.edu for possible future dates (or wait until he replies here.)

I'd think everyone can take the class. But I'd email or call them to find out. I did mine from UCSC (California) for about $990 AUD about a year and a half ago, and I am an Aussie. I got a 70% discount voucher at the end of the course. Stanly.edu didnt do the course back then

I also received the email from Jana and filled out the registration form for the August class.

Does that mean I'm good to go?

ITMonkey

Back in April, there were two requirements to register: 1) submit the registration form and 2) pay for the class. After I had done both, Jana sent me an email saying I was registered.

linuxabuser

Ah, I just called Jana. She's processing the registrations and the links to pay for the class(es) will be sent out in less than 2 weeks.

terryfera

I just got my link to pay today and so did another friend that's taking the course, we filled out the web form about a week ago.

tstrip007

Same here. Glad to finally have it locked in.

rob3bb

Hi, I also registered and paid for August class. I got on the waiting list in May. Did anyone order the books ? is it the 5.1 course ?

Martytoof

Hi, signed up just for this thread! Also just registered and paid. The book is the 5.0 ICM lab manual according to the information the bookstore gives.

Looking forward to discussing the class with everyone here

Sounds Good

Just paid for the class.

The books are not required, largely because their content is available online. Besides, the book contents are copies of PowerPoint-like slides without much commentary.

I suggest you purchase one of the popular books on vSphere 5 using the $50 or so you would otherwise spend on the course books.

Just took the course with Armand Inselberg ---professor was very responsive, but, yes, he can be monotone at times.

Received an exam voucher for 70% off the test, but have until the end of the year to take it.

There is a good amount of material, but setting up a test environment and also using Scott Lowe's book as well.
I recommend the course, as I did learn a decent amount and the labs help you get familiar with the material, but I definitely feel that I need more labbing and review before attempting the cert. You can't beat the price for the course though, especially since this is a mandatory course in order to take the VCP.

Anyone have any other recommended resources to pass the VCP5-DCV?

Like I said earlier I was #139 on the waitlist...I guess at least 19 people ahead of me failed to register because I was just allowed to. Check your spam folders...

Yea, I wouldn't be surprised if many people missed out because it went to their spam folder.

Kind of messed up in my opinion. I would be furious if I missed out on this because it was sitting in my spam folder.

Kinet1c

Just paid, so happy to be on this course. I will probably push out my MCSA W7/2k8 plans now to focus on this instead. Will hopefully have my CCNA the week before the classes start.

How do you see where you are on the wait list?

You have to contact Jana

I wait-listed around the middle of June. Obviously, I didn't make the cut for the latest class (or I never saw my acceptance e-mail...), but someone mentioned up-thread that there may be one or more fall classes (Sept. or Oct.). Anyone have any new info on that?
