VMware launched a new certification family at VMworld 2013 in San Francisco.
The certification is called VMware Certified Associate (“VCA”) and consists of four tracks:
• VMware Certified Associate – Data Center Virtualization (VCA-DCV) free cource
• VMware Certified Associate – Cloud (VCA-Cloud) free cource
• VMware Certified Associate – Workforce Mobility (VCA-WM) free cource
• VMware Certified Associate – Network Virtualization (VCA-NV)
Contrary to other certifications (eg. VCP) it is not required to take an authorized VMware course before you can take the exam.
