Dislcaimer: I work for a partner (VATC). The experience should be the same or very similar - the same course materials are used, the instructors are measured the same, the lab equipment has to be of a certain specification as a minimum.....

Not all VATCs offer the same experience necessarily, for example I'm proud that Global Knowledge UK (who I work for) have an excellent lab setup in terms of our equipment being of a much higher standard than required (even VMware's own) and the lab documentation that accompanies our lab is also of a very high standard.
