Fast Track Course or Install,Configure & Manage?

[Kenzii]

I've just passed the VCA-DCV

Next up is the VCP course but I'm torn between which one to take, going by experience I have been using VMware for about 2 years now. I've setup vCenter clusters and administered a reasonably small environment on the grand scheme of things and set things running from the ground up.. I will be taking the VCP 6 course either way but for comparison I have been looking at the VMware 5.5 Fast track vs ICM here: VMware vSphere 5.X Training Comparison

I wouldnt go as far as say I am a experienced administrator but I wouldnt say that I am a beginner. Obviously the fast track contains a lot more information so it would suite me better but whats your views on the 2 different courses?

Given that experience, I'd suggest Fast Track, once it's available for vSphere 6.

Thanks for the reply.

I understand that its just a waiting game as to when the fast track is released. From previous experience is this released much later to the other courses?

The first Install Configure Manage courses run this week, even though GA was only last Thursday! These are running on labs using a beta of the software, but that will only be for a few weeks.

Fast Track for vSphere 6 isn't available yet, but you shouldn't have to wait long (weeks rather than months)
