Tom,

I just found out a few minutes ago...that yes...you can sit the online course....you just have to be available during the same time as the class is being held...which would be in a North American time zone.

anybody from vmware education care to answer. I have my money ready to make an order, but am not prepared to do so until I know the status of the course regarding certification obligations.

Tom,

I'll ping the other trainers in the private forums to see if we can get an answer. I haven't taught VMware's online course personally...only in person.

I'll reply back here whatever I find out.

It took me several tries in the beginning before anyone wrote me back either. I'm not sure why...since I know that they are looking for good trainers and engineers.

You might try emailing them again...to wake someone up.

There are going to be other opportunities come up this year that may allow us to work together on some education and consulting projects....so I'll be keeping you posted.

Tom,

One of the other VMware trainers told me that he currently teachs the online VI3 classes...and that it does count towards the VCP certification. He's pinging someone else up the VMware foodchain to see if non-North Americans can take the class as well.

I don't see why not...unless there is timezone issues. Apparently, there are only 2 trainers right now that are covering these online classes.

I'll let you know what else I find out.

Chris,

Thank you for your reply -- that is good news. As i am sure is the case with many others getting budget for the 'class' is not an issue as much as the travel, rooms, cars, etc.

Should make things easier for us Smiley Happy

Guys,

I'm still waiting to hear back from them on whether or not the online course is for North America...or the rest of the world as well.

As soon as I hear something...I'll post it here.

Tom,

Glad I could help you...and anyone else interested in saving money by taking the online classes. On a side note, HP also offers the online version of the VMware classes. If you can find a HP education rep in your area...you might find a class in your time zone.
