Tämä kurssi valmentaa osaltaan Professional VMware vSphere 7.x (2V0-21.20) -testiin, jolla saavutat VMware Certified Professional – Data Center Virtualization 2022 (VCP-DCV 2022) -sertifioinnin. Testin läpäiseminen edellyttää kuitenkin kurssin lisäksi myös omaehtoista tutustumista VMwaren dokumentaatioon ja työskentelemistä tuotteen parissa.
