VMware Training. Year 2023. Part 1. Introduction. Authorized Training. Learning Paths. Brief Summary.

Introduction


Hello to all readers of the blog about IT Architecture and Learning!

Last years we published a series of articles VMware Learning. Year 2022″, “VMware Training. Season 2021-2022” and “VMware Learning. Year 2020”. VMware recently released an updated “VMware Learning Course Catalog 2022. January–March 2023”.

So, we’re starting a new series of articles called “VMware Training. Year 2023”, in which we will consider all new educational directions of VMware and we will update the information on previous versions of courses.

To begin with, let us recall the features of authorized training.

Authorized Training


Authorized training from the vendor is a pointer to the best way to master this or that technology. Training programs vary in duration, difficulty level, target audience, training format. Given the trends of recent events in the world, training centers will have to reorient themselves mainly to online learning.

The main components of authorized training are branded textbooks, access to the laboratory environment during training, certified instructors. The training programs themselves are focused on official international certification and are based on new versions of products and technologies, reflect the latest advances in virtualization and cloud technologies in VMware. The content of the Authorized trainings of the last generation have a practice-oriented nature and form the professional competencies of the specialist. VMware provides an equally high level of education, regardless of the location of the training center, controls the content of courses, provides educational and methodological and technical support. There is a system and regulations for training and certification of instructors. An independent certification system allows course participants to obtain internationally recognized documents. Different forms of training allow students to choose the most convenient training option.

To understand the list of training programs and directions, you must visit the official resource: VMware Learning and the corresponding section with the areas of study: Learning Paths.

Learning Paths


In VMware Education Catalog now formed five such major product areas:

  • Multi-Cloud;
  • Virtual Cloud Network;
  • Anyware Workspace;
  • App Modernization;
  • Security.

Brief Summary


In this article, we have read the list of areas and specifics of authorized training VMware. In the next post, we will learn about Multi-Cloud training programs.

Follow the news until the meeting is on air in a few days.
Sincerely, AIRRA.
