Charles, I would look into it thoroughly. I took VMware training from TXK. I was looking for certification preparation, so that I could add it to my resume. However, after I took the course, I found out I basically wasted my money. Because in order to get certified at the time, you had to take classes that were approved by VMware, before you could take the exam. In addition, they didn’t teach the latest version. While this was probably the more prevalent version, it was not the version a simple upgrade would give you. It gave me a general knowledge, but not specific.
So, if you are looking to be prepared to become VMware certified, then do more homework than I did.

My management wants me to become more involved in the day-to-day operations of our VMware environment and I’ve been asked to find something suitable to increase my skills. I haven’t spent a huge amount of time in classrooms during my IT career, but I’ve done it enough to know that the quality of training is all over the spectrum, and I would really hate to come out not knowing much more than I do now. If not VMware training specifically, I would be interested in hearing which training companies to avoid, as I think someone who has tried several of them may have a good general perspective. Thanks.
