This should be a good start.

Can confirm. I would also recommend some additional reading. Something like https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mastering-VMware-vSphere-Nick-Marshall/dp/1118925157/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464096815&sr=8-1&keywords=mastering+vsphere+6 will be a good start.
The textbook for the class I took absolutely sucked. I bought Mastering VSphere 6 ( Mastering VMware vSphere 6 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1118925157/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_UUXFAbVRY5J9X ) and it was perfect for me. It was a lifesaver when I was setting up my home network and I keep it on my shelf at work. Strongly recommend.
There is a Mastering vSphere 6 book Can confirm, I used the 5.5 version to get my VCP-DCV. Excellent reference book. Also agree the ICM class is so very basic that if you've installed a homelab, chances are you won't learn much new. When I took it I'd deployed several clusters already and didn't take much away.
The "VCP Bible" is called Mastering vSphere (insert version # here) and can be found here. The Mastering series is the definitive guides to VMware. If you want to learn it, or study for the VCP, that has it all. There is also tons of courses on Pluralsight.
Yes, "it really depends on what you want to do." For generics you can search for "vsphere best practices" and find whitepapers, or buy a vSphere book. You can also hit up \r\vmware.
I am starting pretty much at ground zero on VMware. In my position at my job we have had vSphere 6.0 installed for almost 2 years now.
I took a New Horizons training course (vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage [V6.0]) about 6 months ago to get myself acclimated to do it. I put it all on hold though so I could bust out and grab the CCNA as I had heard rumblings that another test revision might be coming out within the next year and the new vSphere 6 exam wasn't even printed yet.
One of the things the instructor did emphasize though was using this book. http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-VMware-vSphere-Nick-Marshall/dp/1118925157
I have purchased it on Kindle and will begin the reading shortly.

Depending on where you live and how serious you are, Stanly Community College is probably your cheapest bet to get a real education with a shot at the DCV. Get on the waitlist now, it may take awhile to get in.
