VMware-certified professionals are highly sought after by employers worldwide, as they possess the knowledge and skills to drive digital transformation and optimize IT infrastructure.
What to expect for the examination?

VMware offers a variety of certification exams at different levels (VCTA, VCP, VCAP, VCDX) and across various technology tracks (Data Center Virtualization, Network Virtualization, Cloud Management and Automation, etc.).
Exams typically consist of multiple-choice and scenario-based questions that assess your knowledge and ability to apply it in real-world situations.
