VMware vSphere Advanced Certification Boot Camp


Intense School’s VMware vSphere Advanced Certification Boot Camp provides you 3 days of in-depth skills training through hands-on experience with in-class equipment. You go way beyond the basics, into Virtual Enterprise Architecture, SAN/iSCSI design and integration, Virtual Appliances, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, and more.  ON top of that, you take an industry strength certification and leave class a Master Infrastructure Architect!

Virtualization is changing the way that the infrastructure grows.  It requires new skills and thought process in terms of how you design efficiently and plan for growth.  Without proper design and a comprehensive understanding of the full capabilities of the technology and associated tools, you are missing the true value to you and your business of a virtualized approach to the infrastructure.  It takes knowing how proper configuration management can lead to greatly improved reliability and performance.

This course takes you to the next level, providing you measurable skills and insights that will improve your design and processes.  We take you into advanced 3rd party tools that no true Virtual Infrastructure Architect can do without.   You also will have your knowledge and skills tested at the end of the program by the challenging VC-MIA (Virtualization Council’s Master Infrastructure Architect) Certification exam. 

This is not just a vendor slideshow: You do complex design and troubleshooting exercises. And we go a step farther than anyone: we provide you with a whole suite of 3rd party tools to support your VMware implementations and maintenance, and train you on how to maximize your virtualized environment.


Hands-on Labs with in-classroom equipment:

It is important to understand that Intense School’s Advanced VMware Boot Camp 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.

Real Virtualization Infrastructure Architect Instructors:

When you are looking for technical training, it is important to investigate who will be leading the class, and verify that they have real experience.  Our instructors spend up to 50% of their time deep in consulting projects for medium to large enterprises, and have documented experience.

Best instructor I have had in IT field

- Dominic Monteleone - 10DPT
Mountain Lion Consulting

My instructor was quick to accomodate the learning needs of everyone in the classroom both as a group and on an individual level as well.

- John Godwin

The material was good and very informative, the instructor was extremely knowledgable

- Marc Henscheid - AEH
Lackland AFB

The labs were probably the best part of class. Definitely among the best classes I've had throughout my entire 12 year career. The instructor was able to break down complicated/advance concepts to an entire class that had mixed skill sets. He took the time to ensure that all students understood the materials to include the lab.
