70-640 Training Course Need Advice

I am considering taking some sort of 3 -5 day course for this exam--to get my feet wet, not necessarily as the only means of preparing. If my job agrees to pay for it, I think I will take advantage of it. however, I had a question, most offer both in-class and online training, (online being recorded sessions...). Are there any suggestions from your own experience, obviously the pro of online is that it is 1/3 cheaper...but is there really any cons to doing it online rather in class?
Thanks for your input.
Edit: I spoke with a counselor at New Horizons. Their course is actually 13 days! o.O

Can't tell if you are just using CBT Nuggets or not... but obviously with online you can't ask questions. But you can always ask here though. You can't network with other IT professionals in your local area either. The topics would be much the same though. -

I have never heard a good thing about new horizons. Based off what I have heard I would not use them.

Just looking at those prices!! I would prefer my employer to pay me the training money if I did it myself with a book & CBT Nuggets. Not that all would agree to that!
Everybody learns a different way though. -

6425 is a good course for this exam and will show all the new features of AD and Group Policy, it's a 5 day ILT but an excellent foundation for this exam, also make full use of the MS virtual labs etc up above in the forum -

If you don't have any experience and working knowledge already I would say you can't cram it all in a 3-5 day course. I took the exam and failed it after doing self study but I blame myself for not knowing enough about DNS and certificate services. I am working on those two topics now via the MS Press. It is a pretty easy ready and has some good labs. I also have used Trainsignal which I was a little upset with because of the lack of in depth topics on DNS and CS.
