Overview
This hands-on training course explores installation, configuration, and management of VMware vSphere®, which consists of VMware ESXi™ and VMware vCenter™ Server.
The course is based on ESXi 5.0 and vCenter Server 5.0. Completion of this course satisfies the prerequisite for taking the VMware® Certified Professional 5 exam.

However it will not give you everything. To best prepare for this exam, use the VCP exam blueprint as a study guide. The blueprint includes the list of topics in the exam and references for these topics. Hands-on experience is also a key component to passing the exam.
