    Has anyone sat this exam recently. I'm sitting it in about a month and was wondering how you found it.

    I'm also interested in more info on this.

    I'm also wondering where is the best place to do the training in Ireland (preferably the cheapest also). I'm very familiar with it and it's really not that hard.

    I did mine in Commtech.

    About the test - do you know if there are any esx-cfg questions? Is it mainly on the student manual you get on the Install & Config course.

    Thanks!

    Hey I've sat the course it cost the company 2600 for the course and then I've plans to get through the Exam before the year is up.

    You cant sit the exam unless you've completed the course. Its not hard anyway VMware is the future and this course is really worth doing.

    Also look at some Storage courses they go hand in hand

    Actually my exam was today - I passed it.

    I am doing it for the company I work for - so not sure how it will help me for my career. Love the stuff.

    Jaoibh - what storage courses have you done - i'd like to take some.

    Well done on passing your Exam!!

    Keedowah: I did the Dell Storage and Dell Data Protection courses both are really cool. Great stuff in them gives you start to finish of the navosphere manager. (pretty sure I spelt that right :-) ).

    The chap who works with me got it. Very useful considering how popular the technology is.

    Fascinating stuff to work with.

    I believe he did it with Commtech also.
