That’s one I am leaning towards. Check the local community colleges as some might have programs with VMWare and for 6 weeks you can take the requisite course. One local school does that here ☺ From: John Cook [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2012 9:25 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Certification time? I would do the VCP in a heartbeat but you are required to sit the 5 day class and take the test to get it. The cheapest I've seen the course is around $2500. Kind of out of my range. John W.

First off to avoid the question and value of certifications; I tend to view them as resume garnish which helps get you by HR filters. The question is which to pursue? I think all of mine have expired and my new organization seems to place value on them. They have all the training stuff for 2003 but I am thinking that’s a little too old even though it seems to be in many places. One guy told me why not get it and then take the upgrade test for 2008? Redhat Engineer? Worth it? The ever present CCNA and CCNP. At the moment I am out of the networking areas but will probably reup. Vmware. Any value to VCP? Citrix? Any other areas?
