VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage [V4]
Well on Monday I go for my course in Brisbane for VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage [V4]
I thought I’d put some notes up of my study and any other resources that I come across, what you may find handy is who, where and how much has it cost to take this course; information that wasn’t clear until I liaised with HP.
The course is under HP Education and payment can be made by:
Credit Card, Cheque, TrainingPack, CarePack ID or the option I have opted for; “Customer Account No.”
Price ex GST% was $3000.00 which course goes over 4 days in a classroom format, lunch is provided and approx class time is 7.5-8hrs per day.
Note. VMWare Education Services makes mention of Training Credits.. more info
I am doing my course in Brisbane, QLD Australia using the company:
Venue: CTS
LEVEL 6, 288 EDWARD STREET
BRISBANE QLD
If you plan on needing some accommodation The Treasury Brisbane Hotel is a short walk to CTS on Edward St, about 11 minutes walk (approx 800 meters)
A site I have found interesting with some good reading is Virtualised Reality here
