Hi,

I took the course and enjoyed it. I booked through VMware direct, but it was hosted by a partner. (so I guess I had no choice)

The hours are very long and although I am sure I learnt more than I would in Install and configure, I am not entirely sure that I learnt enough extra to justify the very long hours.

we were on the beta and had VMware sit in for feedback etc . . and it seemed to me that they were not really aiming the course at experienced Admins that wanted to learn Extra . . rather at inexperienced admins with a high work ethic . .wanting to learn more than Install COnfigure Manage would teach them.

I'd say it is worth 20% more than Install Configure and Manage, based on what you learn and a comparison of the syllabus notes.
