David - thanks for the reply! (and please note that *your* reply was in no way solicited by Training Camp!)
To respond to the original poster/posting, I greatly regret that you have reservations about attending a Training Camp course to help you achieve your VMWare certification. Please note that our classes are purchased directly from a VATC, use authorized courseware, are taught by VCIs, and are reflected in the official VMWare MYLearn portal for students. The additional costs reflect that the hotel and exam voucher costs. Training Camp has been successfully delivering outcome-based, all-inclusive programs for over 15 years!
We at Training Camp place a high value on effective customer service. If you feel that this post does not address your concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me directly at 800-698-5501 x1208 or via email at cporter@trainingcamp.com.
Cheers,
Christopher D. Porter
