    Am I only the one playing catch up on the NetApp "labs?" They're boring. I put labs in quotes because I don't find these clicking exercises that engaging.

    My concern is that he's going to withhold exam vouchers from those who don't complete it before the class ends.

    Doing the labs is probably going to be a requirement of the class. You can't blame him if he doesn't give you the voucher in that scenario.

    For some reason, I thought the NetApp voucher was included this class. Oh well. No worries then.

    The available "labs" are completely worthless. We should have access to two hands-on labs, but they don't work.

    The vouchers were supposed to be included with the class, but Newman is a fraud who is guilty of perpetrating a bait-and-switch.

    I absolutely refuse to take the "advanced" storage class.

    Can anyone offer feedback on the VMware course? I am on the Stanly waitlist, but just can't wait that long. It seems like the guy who teaches this class is pretty disorganized / loony.

    As long as I can learn and get credit for the class and a voucher for the exam- I would be happy.

    Will we be so lucky to be gifted something we have paid for?

    I have a coworker who took the VMware course at DCCCD this semester and he seemed pretty happy with it.

    So, I decided to give myself an X-mas present by enrolling in the VMware course and the EMC/NetAPP course through DCCCD. The classes were filling up fast and I needed to keep my self focused.

    Hopefully, I have more people from this forum who will be joining me.

    Current Fees and Seats:

    EDIT: Just noticed some folks not getting their vouchers for the exams? Also frustrations with the course design? Should I drop the course?

    You're not going to find much love here for the storage course. The VMware course still remains recognized by VMware as an ICM course and therefore a suitable checkbox for obtaining your VCP.

    My recommendation, hold fast with the VMware course. Drop the storage. You couldn't pay me to repeat that course.

    I second this. I couldn't take the "digicle media" and the "lungs", and I just gave up after he told me in an email response to "relax".

    If I can get some decent labs and atleast learn a little bit about storage, I will be happy. Especially since the EMC voucher is like 200$.

    So I dropped the course, hopefully they'll refund me the money without a hassle.

    I almost signed up for that course until i read the experiences from people here a few weeks ago.

    Would you please do me a favor, rob3bb? Newman never added tprice5 to his e-mail list for the class, so he will not receive a voucher. I'd like to find out if Newman sent each person a unique voucher number. If all of the vouchers are the same, then I'll e-mail tprice5 a copy of it.

    The last three digits of the voucher I received are:

    E5A

    If your voucher ends with those numbers, then we probably all received the same one.

    My voucher doesn't end in e5a. I assume I can just add the code when I register for the exam

    Thank you for your help, rob3bb, and, yes, there will be a field to enter the voucher number when you register for your exam.

    I would be very surprised if anyone on this forum takes that class after what we just went through.
