Global Knowledge / Training

Global knowledge seems to be a pretty big training provider; they have recently added Vmware to their course listing.

I am currently in the process of getting my company to send me to Exchange 2007 Training and Vmware 3.5 Install and Configure training with global knowledge. In the past I attended Their 70-294 course and found it to be very good. The thing I noticed about them is they have instructurs that teach specific courses all over the country, so It seemed to me they really knew thier stuff, and we used a Ghosted environment so minimal time was spent setting up a lab.

I would like to get feedback from everyone interested in giving it on these two courses through global knowledge and any of thier other courses.

Thanks.

Be careful registering with anyone besides VMware. Unless they've authorized the course, it won't count towards your VCP.

They are the one provider my company uses for training and i skimmed that link looks like they say they are authorized by vmware for the exam. I'd check with vmware to be safe as well!

I have had good experiences with Global Knowledge. In this area anyway, the facilities are always top notch and they treat the students very well (drinks, catering, wi-fi access, nice lounge area).

I took their Ultimate Exchange 2003 course a couple of years ago, it was the best IT training class I've ever taken. It was a bit above beginner level Exchange install/configure and was taught by an Exchange MVP. I'm hoping to get in the 2007 version of this class in the next 6 months or so.

Always make sure the courses are listed by VMware Education, otherwise they won't count towards the VCP. Don't ever believe the provider.

I assume you're doing install/config and DSA. What's the third course?

Yeah, it's only two! I just took a quick look at it and saw three, but now I see one is a fast track. Yay, one more week I get to work instead of doing training. =/
