Become a VMware Certified professional

To gain the status VMware Certified Professional is extremely simple, and revolves around a 3 step process:

Firstly, take part in a VMWare authorised training course which is hosted by a qualified instructor - we always recommend having an instructor led training course as it enables a higher level of learning with best practises within the VMware training structures and allows you to participate in invaluable hands on simulated VMWare scenerio's.

Secondly, if you already are a VMware Certified Professional, there are no entry requirements to any of the VMWare training Course's - but you will still gain hands-on experience with VMware.

In our experience running VMware training Course's, individuals who have not had the benefit of hands on eperience often struggle to pass the end exam to a satisfactory grade.

Lastly, enroll and pass the certification exam. To register to take the VMware Certified Professional examination please contact Pearson VUE, a third-party testing center at www.pearsonvue.com/vmware
