There are no changes to partner programs at this time.

We are no longer accepting some older course versions (VSP & VTSP-SV 2015, Post Sales Accreditation vSphere 5.0 or 5.5, and VCP-DCV 5.0 or 5.5) for the Server Virtualization Solution Competency and those of you who have not updated your training have been put in Provisional status through 31 August, 2018. Access these FAQs and visit Partner University today to learn more.
Take a look. You can save time by learning both basic and advanced topics in one course. You can combine the Deploy and Manage vSAN course with either the vSphere ICM or vRealize Deploy and Manage course, or even combine the Technical Post Sales with the Troubleshooting course – a ‘must do’ for every SE.
Starting in March 2018, VSP, VTSP, & Technical Post Sales – Server Virtualization (SV) 2015 courses for vSphere 5.5 will no longer meet the Solution Competency’s requirements. Access Solution Competency Dashboard to check the year of your course completion and if necessary, start your additional training now.
