VMWare courses - London

garryfrazer

Hi all,

I am looking to take VSICM (VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage v6.5) in London and wanting to know if anyone has been on any courses and the trainers were really good. I assume that there are trainers and then there are trainers, just like any other vendor classroom based course.

I realise that I will still need to study after the course but to know that I am getting the top knowledge from a trainer would be ace.

Thanks for your time.

Hi, I recognise VSICM as meaning you're looking at Global Knowledge for your training.

I used to lead their VMware training team, from when they were first awarded VATC status in the UK.

Their main VMware trainer is Trevor Jones - he joined GK after I left, but I worked with him previously at a different VATC (Magirus) - he's a brilliant trainer, and has been delivering VMware courses for about 10 years now.

I'd go on one of his courses, any day.

The other guys in their VMware team are also strong instructors - I may be a little biased, but GK have a good team.

Scott,

Many thanks for that I will see if I can get on Trevor's course then.

Very much appreciated.

I did it with Mo https://stiffordacademy.org.uk/

You can do it in the evenings and it's about 3x cheaper than going to a 5 day (bore you to tears course).

I found it better to do it in chunks.
