The new VMware Certified Advanced Professional (VCAP) Certification is an intermediate level certification for VMware Certified Professionals that comes in two flavors:
- VCAP – Datacenter Administration
- VCAP – Datacenter Design
The Datacenter Administration certification focuses on planning and administration of vSphere technologies and is aimed at system administrators, consultants and engineers working with VMware vSphere; while the Design cert centers on the methodologies and principles of data center design and is geared towards IT architects. The two certifications are unique and you’re not required to complete one to take on the other.
For those who have completed the VCP4 certification and are looking for a new challenge, the VCAP is the logical next step that can offer industry recognition, new career opportunities and many other benefits. Unlike the VCP, the VCAP has no course requirements and you are free to use any training method you choose.
VMware vSphere Troubleshooting Training: Available Now
Train Signal’s new VMware vSphere Troubleshooting Training is the first in a series of courses designed to prepare you for the VCAP Datacenter Administration (VCAP4-DCA) exam. This advanced training covers the vSphere troubleshooting section of the VCAP and is the perfect place to start preparing for the exam.
Taught by David Davis (VCP, vExpert) the training will help you:
- Develop troubleshooting skills required to solve real-world vSphere problems
- Prepare for section 6 of the VCAP4-DCA exam blueprint
- Learn how to troubleshoot all of the virtual infrastructure resources in vSphere, including CPU, RAM, Storage, Network, etc
- Take your VCP skills to the next level with real knowledge that you’ll use on a daily basis
As mentioned above, this is an advanced course for current VCPs, system administrators, engineers and help desk staff who need the knowledge and skills to perform vSphere troubleshooting. Prior vSphere training and experience is definitely required.

Has TrainSignal considered any training for VMware to address FCIP and ISCSI for failover to collocation sites or datacenters. I wish that their was more information out there besides just this!

Hi Shea,
We have iSCSI lessons but not specifically on failover to collocation datacenters and we have nothing on FCIP.
At this moment we don’t have any plans to include this in our VMware training; it’s a pretty advanced topic and we’re not sure how many customers need failover to multiple datacenters. If things change and we do decide to cover this, I’ll definitely let you know.
