vSphere 5 - Design Workshop

@All,

Could any of you let me know the difference between vSphere 4 Design Workshop and vSphere 5 Design Workshop?

I'd already attended workshop for ver 4 few months back.

How far will this v5 design workshop will help in future for those who are aspiring for DCD (on v5) or even for a (future) Consultant?

Your input will be highly appreciated.

Content-wise, the materials have been updated in some areas for vSphere 5, as you've attended the v4 workshop I don't think you'd gain much by attending it.

A lot of people who've done the VCAP4-DCD have said that the v4 workshop was a help to them.

The course work for the vSphere 5.x Design Workshop is virtually the same, just be aware of the new features and how they impact design/tradeoffs/etc.

I tread lightly about what I say about exam experiences but I will say if you have you course materials from 4.x then you should be okay.
