The exams are currently 50% off due to the introduction of the exam and I am lead to believe that the discount is here for the rest of the year, obviously that can change (currently the exam is £48 rather than the £96 (inc vat) it usually is). When you look through the requirements for the VCA course you will see that they have some fundemental web based courses, these take about 3 hours (or so). The exam it self is 50 questions long and is a web based exam rather than a proctored exam you may be used to (where you go to a dedicated testing center and are monitored during the exam). The exam is relatively easy if you have a decent understanding of the technology, you're not restricted to just ESXi and vCenter tho, so have a good understanding of some of the other VMware products out there.
