It looks like they only rent labs out to students taking authorised training with a VMware IT Academy partner.

You need to take training through one of those partners in order to meet the requirement for a VCP certification, use this page to search for a partner: https://www.vmware.com/company/it-academy.html

Thanks for your response,

my main concern is about attending an authorized training course with two main criteria:

1- official attendance certificate to be eligible for the VCP exam.

2- reasonable course cost.

most online training courses fees exceed 1500$ for ICM 7.0 training, which exceeds budgets for some people.

I understand, VMware IT Academy partners offer authorised training, usually to those who are paying for the training themselves rather than through their employer.

Use the link I posted previously to find a partner, and take the training through them.
