I am taking the ICM course from the folks at StormWind. Just completed the 2nd day of class. It is better than the "webex" type of experience I was anticipating. There is a chat window open at all times with the instructor where you can ask questions and info with him and the other students as well.
You see the instructor for most of the class. Wasnt too thrilled with only electronic versions of the student guides being available. With a little bit of work, I have printed out the books. Working on computers all day, I like having the printed material to work with.
One thing to think about and I have had to use in the course already is a backup internet connection, just in case. I have a wifi hotspot through FreedomPop. I have been using this for the remote lab portion of the course when I started experiencing intermittent connection problems. After the initial purchase of the device, my costs have been far less than an on contract version of the device from the major carriers.
