Are you looking for VMware Certified Associate training? Do you want to learn from an experienced trainer who makes complex concepts simple and easy to understand? Do you need to prepare for the VCA-DBT exam?
I am a VMware Certified Instructor who has taught thousands of hours of live training directly for VMware. Most lectures in this course are 5 - 15 minutes long. A few deeper topics are slightly longer. This course gives you an understanding of key VMware products and concepts.
VMware vSphere is everywhere. Non-virtualized datacenters are a thing of the past, and in order to stay relevant you must understand virtualization and cloud concepts.
This course features a few different sections. I have included 28 lessons teaching you the basics of vSphere, because that is the most important VMware product, and is core to understanding NSX, vSAN, and other products. However, understand that much of this vSphere knowledge is not directly applicable to the VCA-DBT exam. Learning it is important to have a strong foundation. Key vSphere topics covered include vCenter, ESXi, Host Clusters, Availability, DRS, Storage, Networking, and Fault Tolerance.
After that we take a deep dive into the topics of the VCA-DBT exam. vSAN, NSX, Horizon, and vRealize are key knowledge areas that are covered. You will understand the use cases for all these products and will learn everything you need to know to pass the VMware Certified Associate - Digital Business Transformation (VCA-DBT) exam.

I really enjoyed the course, it had great information and I will definitely check out more of your courses. My only piece of advice for future courses would be to tweak the audio so that it's at the same volume in each of your sections, I had to turn up or quickly turn down the volume several times. I hope you have a great day, and thank you for creating this course!

1-Need to have something like quiz between each part
2-Need to provide us with the course content in pdf or ppt format
3- Need to include some sample exams

Si adatto grazie
By Derek on 9/16/2020
The verbiage was confusing at times. The narrator would use one term in one sentence when referring to something, and then use a completely different word in the following sentence while still referring to the same topic. It seemed almost impromptu at times. I wish this lesson was a lot more polished. The information was good, but it could have been presented in a more professional manner. I'm new to virtualization, and I don't want to be lost before the subject matter gets even more involved.

The graphical representations are clear, effective, very useful for the journey.
