Hello, I want to make everyone aware of what is going on with the training camp VCP training boot camp program.
I was interested in attending their VMware Vsphere 5.1 VCP course because they have one local to my area and I wouldnt have to travel:
http://www.trainingcamp.com/global/itandmanagement/virtualization/vmware5.aspx
I noticed that the name of the course is not exactly the same as the names of the official VMware courses that meet the "required course" requirement for the VCP-DCV: http://mylearn.vmware.com/mgrReg/plan.cfm?plan=12457&ui=www_cert
If you read the training camp web page for the course, it says the course is authorized and meets the training course requirement. I was a little worried about forking over $4200 of my company's money for this, so I called vmware to ask. They confirmed that Training Camp is NOT an authorized partner and is not associated with any VATC!!
Holy ****, so I would have attended this class, taking the VCP-DCV, but it would never be a valid cert if I actually inquired with VMware.
I talked to the sales rep and training camp, and he basically screamed at me and hung up the phone on me. Very rude. I think everyone should know about this.
Feel free to call vmware education yourself if you are considering this option for the VCP-DCV: 866-377-4710 option #4
