Expand Your VMware Cloud Foundation Knowledge with a VCF Course

In May, it was announced that VCF Learning was streamlining its certification process, and prerequisite courses were no longer needed to take VMware Certification exams. Our students were excited to hear this news. In some cases, these courses served as a refresher, ensuring your skills were current before taking the exam, while in others, they offered a chance to expand their toolbox of  cloud knowledge. Regardless of where you are in your career, VCF Learning is here to support you on your learning journey.

Two new VMware Certifications, VCP-VCF Admin and VCP-VVF Admin, have been added to the VMware Certification portfolio. You might find yourself very interested in earning one of these certifications, but also not quite ready to sit for the exam. VCF Learning has you covered with three new courses to help you expand your VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) knowledge.
