The vSphere 5 Fast Track Boot Camp is a combination of the Install, Configure and Manage course plus addtional content developed just for the Fast Track that isn't found in any other vSphere 5 course: 14 hours of additional content includes Enterprise Plus features, such as Host Profiles and Distributed vSwitches, including hands-on lab exercises with configuration and use of those features. It also includes an entire module on command line management with vSphere Management Assistant (vMA).
