Dear members,
I am in the process of self-studying to land any first line support job in IT. At the actual stage I finished the CCNA and the Comptia A+. Before I will start the MCSA, which seems required for any 1st Line Supporter role in UK, I was looking to have a basic introduction to virtualization.
The VCP-DCV is out my budget and I am not sure if being "The Virtualization Man" is where I want to be.
I wanted to ask you if is worth to take the VCA-DCV as Cv filler/foundation or I should take a similar exam with Citrix to have a recognition for my studies.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards.

I wouldn't pay for that exam. I actually did do it since it was free back then, but IMO it's a useless cert. If you want to lookup about virtualization I'm sure you can learn a lot on YouTube. But eventually if you want to be a server guy I think you'll need to know more on the topic. BTW, there is an online school "Stanley CC" where you can get the course for the VCP for under 300$. That's where I did mine, it doesn't cover all necessary topics but it is for sure worth it. -

Hello JasminLandry. Thank you for answering.
Is there any chance to get a course that will allow me to access the VCP exam? An online course would be great, even if I assume that is must be a class room based training.
Kind Regards. -

Yes the course from StanlyCC allows you to sit the VCP exam. Look it up on this forum, you'll find lots of posts about it. VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage
