Plan training and certification together
Choose a course for the technology version and job tasks you need to master. Certification is a separate process: taking a class does not award a credential or automatically establish exam eligibility. Broadcom controls current certification names, requirements and exam objectives.
For platform administration, review the VCP – VMware vSphere Foundation Administrator reference. For private cloud support, review VCP – VMware Cloud Foundation Support. Compare the current official guide with the course outline before booking an exam. Historical vSphere 8 certification associations should not be treated as verified current pathways.

VMware training questions
Where can I take VMware training online?
Fidelis Networks offers live online instructor-led training in vSphere 8, vSphere Foundation 9.0 and VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0. Compare the five courses above and contact Fidelis for enrollment.
Which course is appropriate for a new VMware administrator?
For vSphere 8, ICM introduces installation and core administration. Learners should already have Windows or Linux administration experience. For Foundation 9.0 work, review VVFBMO and its recommended background.
What is the difference between vSphere, vSphere Foundation and VCF?
vSphere supplies core virtualization technology. vSphere Foundation combines virtualization with integrated operations. VMware Cloud Foundation addresses a broader private cloud platform spanning compute, storage, networking and management.
Are exam vouchers included?
No exam voucher or retake is advertised as included. Any exception must be explicitly stated in your written quote.
Are all VMware classes Guaranteed to Run?
No. Only individual sessions marked GTR in the supplied schedule carry that label. Confirm availability with Fidelis before booking.
Can a team enroll together?
Yes. Contact Fidelis with the course, preferred date and number of participants to discuss group enrollment in available live online sessions.
Does completing a course make me VMware certified?
No. Broadcom sets certification requirements, including applicable exams. Use training to build relevant skills and review the current official certification guide separately.
