Vmware certified courses in NYC?

MordyIT · January 2015

Anyone know of where I can look for VCP5 approved training in NYC?
The rip-off schools here want over $3k for 5 day course.
I think I might just study for the exam and slap it on my resume when i pass it, but I'd enjoy going back to college to take a class.

Have you seen the thread here with the Stanly.edu class for $200?

+1 for Stanly CC. Just took the course at the end of last year. Less than $200 including an exam voucher. It takes a while to be accepted due to the long wait list, but totally worth it for the deep discount.

+1 for Stanly, go there.

MordyIT · January 2015

Wow that's cheap thanks! But that's in NC. Is it online?

brownwrap · January 2015

Yes indeed, online. You need to get on the waiting list.

Another +1 for Stanly. The admin staff has an account on this forum, and, I believe, so does one of the instructors. They are very responsive. If you can wait until a slot opens, I highly recommend it.

Yes, $3k is the approximate market price for the official 5-day class from VMware or one of their VATC partners - the only way you can get trained in that timeframe, and by a VCI too.

For reference, go back 8 years and it was around $4k for a 4-day class.

Stanly and other VITAs are for individuals rather than corporates - there's a market for both types of organisations.

Same here. Taking Stanly class right now ($185 but waiting list of about 4-5 months) since it is a great price and I was able to complete my CCNA in the mean time. Link here.

Also, check Dallas County Community College, CWA/Net academy (one class opens every month), Ohlone College, UCSC Silicon Valley Extension and CCCT&I. Prices go from $236 to $1,750.

The only problem is the cost of the books; almost $70 including shipping. Most people here don't buy them, instead use Lowe's book. Myself I decided to buy it, I think it's still worth it.

Thanks I signed up. I guess I can work on other certs and maybe find another free VCA cert in the mean time.

GAB1900 · January 2015

Buy Pluralsight/CBTNuggets for a month or two, or better, buy Lowe's book and read it and do some hands on practice (Do you have a lab at home?). You will need additional content since the class is not enough (it's kind of a joke). VMware tells you that on the very first slide of their training. Do a search on this forum and you will realize why the class is not enough.

Look at local community colleges in their "Continuing Education" department. My local CC offers, everything from A+, Net+, Sec+, CCNA, MCSA, VCP, etc. They offered CCNA-Security, CCNP-Security before, but not enough interest. The cost will vary. Originally the VCP class was $1500, but went to $2400. It was every Tuesday and Thursday from 6:30-10:00 for 11 weeks and we built the lab to simulate scenarios we would encounter. It was a great class. Nothing was rushed and we had plenty of time to cover the class. The 5 day classes are too much. You might pass an exam, but you won't have enough lab time. If you have questions, you can PM me. GL!

I have an hp ml110 with 4 15k drives and a laptop for interfacing with vshpere, i guess i can use my core 2 duo as another physical hypervisor to test vcenter features.
Ima keep looking at colleges here. I think its worth it to pay more for the hands on lab and socialize with peers. I just dont see it offered here besides the scam schools that sit u in a basement and make u look at videos

Wish I had known about Stanley. I took a flight to Asia and took an official class from VMware. Great way to get a vacation though and the VMware class was only $960. They also provide lunch everyday onsite. Spent less than $2000 for the class, hotel, food, and airfare.

Thank you for providing the link. We are also offering CCNA courses as distant learning as well. Intro to Networks starts Monday as does R & S Essentials.
