I've heard that they're revamping the course, but I'm not sure there will be an offline training available any time soon because of the many dependencies on other products which would make quite a large virtual appliance... (vSphere, vCloud, vCO, etc). I'm pretty sure though that training team will be growing so the on site course should see a lot of improvements. If you're a pure newbie, I'd say you miss some functional understanding by going straight to documentation (it'd be good if we had something "Getting Started Guide"). If you're already a vmware customer, usually sales engineers will at least give you an initial setup/poc overview that'll give you a functional overview which would be less formal than a full course.
