new to VMware certs

monorion

Hello everyone,

I am thinking about taking some certs(i am aiming for MCSA: server 2012 when the R2 books hit the shelves) my main question is, which VMware cert will go best with the server 2012 series?

Since I am new i will obviously go with VCA, but which is the best path? datacenter or the network virtualization when it come out? Also the only experience I have with VMware is VMware workstation that I use at home, so is this a good idea to take either of these with no real work experience?

thank you I really appreciate it!

Do VCP5-DCV. I have a lot of virtualization experience, but learned a lot more after studying for the cert. I would advise learning a lot more about enterprise storage (EMC and NetAPP) as well.

Start with DCV, everything else builds on top of vSphere which DCV is about.
