A decent spec laptop running vSphere inside a bunch of VMs in VMware Workstation or Player would be a good solution, is usually cheaper than a hosted lab, and you can keep the laptop when you're finished too 😉

I agree with Scott.  I first thought about going the hosted route using companies like Hatsize but quickly learned that the convenience versus cost was skewed towards costs.  I then went with the desktop and pc option.

Not a dedicated ICM lab, but maybe worth looking at anyway is the VMware Hands-on Labs which provides labs for different topics.
