SharePoint 2010 Training Environment

Hello Experts,
I'm looking for a solution to setup a big training environment for our students.
They need a stand alone virtual machine with Windows Server, MS Office, Visual Studio and SharePoint Enterprise 2010+FAST Search.
The course length is about 17 weeks (119 days) - it's an evening course.
I'm looking for some low cost solution to build this environment.
I checked with CloudShare the costs but I got really expensive offer.
Maybe someone know more than me about the Microsoft's Virtual machines (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27417#instructions) - can I use it for different courses and different students time after time?

Thank you.

We have strong machines, the issue is to install the same VM for every course on the same machine. Is it OK to use it for 180 days and then reinstall for new students?

I'd contact MS to confirm. I have a feeling that would not be the intent of the VM's they provide.
