Virtualization team ready

Built for teams operating vSphere clusters, virtual machines, storage, and NSX networks.

2 courses

The VMware paths for teams managing virtualized data centers and software-defined networking.

Certification architecture

Build VMware coverage across data center and network virtualization

Use VCP-DCV to validate vSphere and ESXi operations, and VCP-NV to validate NSX network virtualization. Together they map to the two VMware capability areas most infrastructure teams need.

1

Certification tier

Tier 1 — vSphere Operations

Give virtualization admins a shared baseline for deploying, configuring, and troubleshooting vSphere 8 environments.

VCP-DCV — Data Center Virtualization

1 course

VMware Certified Professional Data Center Virtualization for teams managing ESXi hosts, virtual machines, clusters, storage, and core vSphere operations.

2

Certification tier

Tier 2 — NSX Network Virtualization

Develop the network virtualization bench that can design and operate NSX logical switching, routing, and distributed firewall controls.

VCP-NV — Network Virtualization

1 course

VMware Certified Professional Network Virtualization for teams operating NSX, virtual networks, distributed firewalls, and software-defined data center connectivity.

3

Certification tier

Tier 3 — Hybrid Infrastructure Bench

For small VMware catalogs, the expert bench is built by pairing both available tracks: vSphere platform ownership plus NSX network/security ownership.

vSphere + NSX Hybrid Infrastructure

2 courses

A combined path for senior infrastructure engineers who need to reason across compute virtualization, storage, networking, and security controls.

Customer outcome

Make virtualization ownership visible

VMware training is easy to map to team ownership: one path for vSphere operations, one path for NSX network virtualization, and a combined path for senior hybrid-infrastructure engineers.

2 core tracks
Data center virtualization and network virtualization

Role-based paths

VMware Training by IT Job Role

Match VMware training to the actual roles your team holds. Each path bundles the right cert tracks plus the operational depth engineers need day-to-day.

VMware Training for Virtualization Administrators

1 course

For admins deploying, configuring, and troubleshooting vSphere clusters, ESXi hosts, virtual machines, and storage networks.

VMware Training for Network Virtualization Engineers

1 course

For engineers designing and operating NSX virtual networks, logical switching and routing, and distributed firewall policy.

VMware Training for Hybrid Infrastructure Teams

2 courses

For infrastructure teams that need shared fluency across data-center virtualization and network virtualization.

Platform depth

Learn VMware Tools and Platforms

Platform-by-platform deep dives for the specificVMware tools your team operates.

Learn VMware vSphere

1 course

vSphere and ESXi operations for teams managing virtual machines, clusters, storage, and data-center virtualization.

Learn VMware NSX

1 course

NSX network virtualization for teams designing logical networks, distributed firewall policy, and software-defined connectivity.

Practitioner-led

VMware training your team learns from

Built and taught by engineers who have spent decades running production VMware infrastructure — not crowd-sourced contributors.

Team outcome

Faster ramp for new hires

Curated playlists and team assignments make onboarding repeatable instead of relying on ad hoc shadowing and tribal knowledge.

Best fit for: managers scaling a team, backfilling a role, or standardizing skills across distributed engineers.
