Overview

Looking to enhance your VMware and Virtualization expertise? VMware is a crucial tool utilized extensively across various businesses, irrespective of their size. Developing a strong grasp of VMware is a significant asset for advancing your career in IT.

This comprehensive course offers an in-depth exploration of VMware. We've structured our VMware education into three distinct modules, each focused on essential technologies. Importantly, each module can be independently accessed and enjoyed.

Throughout the course, we'll delve into the specifics of configuring your personal VMware virtualization environment. This encompasses the use of vSphere, ESXi, and vCenter. Once your environment is established, you'll be well-prepared to commence constructing your virtual machines (VMs).

Whether you're a newcomer to the IT field or an experienced professional, we are here to provide you with foundational skills. These skills will empower you to secure that coveted IT position, attain promotions, or elevate your existing virtualization and VMware skill set.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
