VMware Certified Instructor Q1 Awards

Each quarter, VMware recognizes top instructors with an achievement award for educating the technical community. When choosing whom should be awarded, we consider:

  • The number and range of courses delivered
  • If they are early adopter of new courses
  • Evaluation scores for subject knowledge, professionalism, presentation skills, ability to encourage participation, and responses to questions
  • Support within the VMware training community

Honestly, all candidates are strong and it is always so difficult to choose, however, we did choose two candidates that stood out for our Q1 period (January through March).
