About Me

Scott Vessey


VMware Certified Professional 2/3/4/5 (VCP)
VMware Certified Advanced Professional 4 - Datacenter Administration (VCAP-DCA)
VMware Certified Instructor (VCI)

I joined VMware in March 2012 and am currently the Program Manager for the EMEA Solution Engineering organisation - I help the leadership team build and implement change programs for the 700+ employees in the organisation.

 I have worked intimately with VMware virtualisation products and technologies since 2006, when I also gained my initial VCP and VCI certifications. Prior to joining VMware I worked as the Lead Virtualisation Instructor for Global Knowledge, and before that I was the Training Operations Manager for the virtualisation training team at Magirus.

I am a major contributor to the official VMware Training & Certifcation community forums and I also contribute to other certification-related forums. As well as this blog I can also be found on Twitter and LinkedIn where I also run a group related to VMware training and certification.

Feel free to send me an email if there's anything related to VMware training and certification that you think I might be able to help you with - vmtraining.blog@gmail.com

      What are you expecting to receive? VMware would normally only email you in relation to certification rather than training.

      VCP5-DCV does have an "authorised training" requirement, so if your training wasn't one of the qualifying courses delivered by a recognised learning partner you might have a problem.

      You can find out about the training requirement and where you can take the training here:

    Hi Scott, I intend to offer VMware courses at my own company. How should I go about it?
    I need to get certified first, then do I need to get approval from which centre?
    Can list the steps I need to take?

      To offer official VMware courses your company would need to be a VATC and you would need to be a VCI. The intention of the VATC program is for you to offer training commercially to VMware customers and partners, rather than to you own internal employees. I would suggest that you email education@vmware.com

    Hello Scott,

    I am currently working at a BPO as Technical Support Associate. VMWare certifications have been on my mind for a while and I would be very interested in pursuing these but I'm not familiar at all with what they offer and what they require. Any general advice on where to start or things I should be aware of before taking up the course is much appreciated. Thank you.
