Who are these guys? "Virtualization Council"
I was at Unitek's web site hoping to get my boss to allow me to take a VCP bootcamp this year. That sort of thing. Then at the bottom of Unitek's Vmware training bootcamp I see this written
"
VC-VIP vSphere Certification test from virtualization council included
* Students are prepared for the VC-VIP vSphere test, and take the test at the end of the class;
* The test has more credibility because a third-party vendor neutral council offers it;
"
VC-VIP has more credibility than VCP? I am confused. Wait, who the heck is VC-VIP. A lot of nerve to apply the words "VIP" to their cert I was thinking.
Anyhow I goto their site and it's feels like one of the turn-key scamware sites. Even their logo is just WordArt!
So can someone prove my first instincts wrong on these guys? Seems like they are a fly by night or trying to capitalize on the fact VMware doesn't give certs without classes first.

Your first instinct is right, they have no real industry standing or backing.

I’ve taken many exams over my career but the VIP from the Virtualization Council for VMware, really showed what I was lacking. It’s a good exam focused for the VMware engineers who want to really test his or her skills.
