Hands-on Labs with in-classroom equipment:
It is important to understand that Intense School’s VMware training is the most hands-on approach available; at least 60% of the class time is spent directly DOING; this allows for a better experience, more retention, and REAL skills development. All of the hardware is present in the class itself, not located somewhere else, requiring you to remotely connect using an unreliable hotel conference room connection. We provide you direct experience from the ground up on real hardware that is all on the VMware Hardware Compatibility list. This is proven to increase your learning experience, reduce problems in class and give you concrete skills for returning to the workplace.

Here’s what the students have access to:
Each student will setup their own ESX Server, License Server, VirtualCenter Server, and use a variety of tools to support the VMware Enterprise. This course offers students a chance to build, support, and troubleshoot their own server environment. The ESX server sits in class with the student and is not virtual. In other words students have a real physical server to install and configure. We do not use Citrix to run a class with ESX.
