I don't work for VMware, so can't answer all your questions, but I'll do my best from what I do know.

- Is there are materials (hard copy) will be deleivered to me?

I think VMware distribute the materials electronically as a PDF, but they are locked with software


- When should i register to course before its schedualed date?

As soon as you are ready, I don't know if there is a minimum period

- Is the course has video? or only presentaion and audio?,
VMware use Webex to deliver the course, there is no video but presentation, demos, audio

- if i have questions, or want to comment to something to the instucture, how can that be done?
Through Webex chat or audio

- can i recored the course?
I don't think that's allowed.

- if there are some disonnction occured ! what will be the case?
It is up to the instructor to try and manage that, if it's a local problem it would be your responsibility

- if i want the system to call my cell phone, is that possible? how?
I don't know, most people use VOIP with a headset.

- is there a free phone number to use in saudi arabia to use to join the course?, what is it?,
I don't know.

- is ipad 2 webex version is as good as the pc one or less features?

I've not used it yet.

Scott.

Welcome to the community.

- Is there are materials (hard copy) will be deleivered to me?

This was usual some years ago.

Now seems that it's used an electronic copy.


- When should i register to course before its schedualed date?
When you can... in some class there could be no more plase.

- Is the course has video? or only presentaion and audio?,

It's done with Webex

And remote connection for the labs.


- if i have questions, or want to comment to something to the instucture, how can that be done?

With Webex

- if there are some disonnction occured ! what will be the case?
You loose that time.

- if i want the system to call my cell phone, is that possible? how?

There is a callback function... but not sure if it work for cell phone.

But also there is VoIP


- is there a free phone number to use in saudi arabia to use to join the course?, what is it?,

Not sure... the phone list is form Webex


- is ipad 2 webex version is as good as the pc one or less features?

Use the PC, you need it also for the lab part.

The best way to insure the training is VMware authorized is to register through VMware - that way you will be sure you are getting authorized training and it will count for your VCP -

ALL official course events are listed under http://www.vmware.com/education - use the class locator options on the right and you'll see course events listed, for VMware-delivered and VATC-delivered events.
