CTX-2401AI Citrix XenServer Enterprise courseware for self-study?

As I'm writing the 1Y0-A01 Citrix XenServer Enterprise Edition 4.0: Administration practice exam, I am astonished at how horrible the CTX-2401AI XenServer courseware is for self-study. I would not recommend anyone to use it for this purpose. It might work fine in a classroom environment where the instructor can expand on everything, but I'd venture to say that an instructor can probably put something together that is more comprehensive than this.

It was put together like a PowerPoint presentation. It's like somebody's notes that they scribbled on a napkin to explain a subject to their friend and then when they got home they created courseware using those notes, word-for-word.

I've heard that the online eLearning course for XenServer is really good. The problem is that only channel partners have access to it. I've requested access to it so that I can give a review of it here in my blog, so I'm hoping that comes through.

If you only have time to self-study, I'd recommend using the exam enablement guide, administrator's guide, XenServer FAQ, installation guide, and knowledge base articles, all of which can be found on the 1Y0-A01 study page. Just don't waste your money on the courseware.
