Right, so I have been in contact with a VMware Education Sales guy for a while and he emailed me about this offer for the vSphere 5 Design Training. Offer was:
- 100% discount voucher for the DCD
- A free exam prep workshop for the DCD valued at $300
I convinced my employer to send me on this training, citing the advanced nature of the course and the free vouchers. Now the training went well, but I havent received the voucher yet. Emails to the sales guy's @vmware.com address bounce back and he doesnt reply to any LinkedIn messages. I emailed Edu Ops at VMware and they said this promotion was only for VMware employees. I contacted the course's instructor, he said he didnt work for VMware and couldnt do much about this.
Anyone know if this offer was legit? My employer isnt happy at all at the thought of having to shell out another $400 for the DCD exam I will take. Note, I'm located in the Australia/New Zealand region and finished this training course on the 24th of May. My company is a VMware Partner.
