VCI Registration Part 1 case studies
VCI Registration Part 1 · Put your knowledge to work in context.
VMware Certified Instructor (VCI) is a trainer credential rather than a pure administrator certification. It is aimed at people who deliver VMware data-center virtualization content in instructor-led settings - physical classroom, virtual classroom, or partner-delivered training - and who must therefore demonstrate two things at once: solid product knowledge and the ability to run a lab-based technical class without losing the room.
