What's New 5.0

I am wanting to upgrade my VCP4 to 5 (blah, should have got my 4 before the free "upgrade" without a class, only a test, was required) and know I will need to take the What's New in 5 class.
VMWare quote is $1500 for Live Online classes. Being new at this employer, I am not going to ask them for training expenses yet (I am still Contract-to-Hire as well for 90 days)- so I don't mind paying for it out of pocket. Is there a cheaper alternative that anyone is aware of? The $1500 really isn't a big deal- just looking for something else that may qualify.

Doesn't VMUG subscription pay for VCP exam (via voucher), not class?

VMUG pays for itself in no time. Seriously, $200 and you're in for a year. My Vsphere5 ICM class was $3500 - 20% = $2800. Then there's another $100 I save on VMworld. Then there are exam discounts.
networkjutsu-With courses, remember that it has to be VMware authorized to meet VCP requirements (should you ever want to go there). You can take things like that, but VMware will get your money eventually if you want to certify.
You cant beat less than $100 for ICM class. If I was still living in another state, I think I'll be paying more than $300/credit hour since I wasnt living in the same district of the CC.
