You’ll be equipped to handle host disconnects, snapshot sprawl, storage path failures, high CPU/memory utilization, and basic HA alert scenarios using logs and VMware diagnostic tools.

Access to a lab is not mandatory, but highly recommended. Lab simulations are demonstrated in the course, but practicing them hands-on in your own environment will solidify your learning.

While not officially tied to a specific certification, the course aligns well with real-world operations and topics found in VMware VCP-DCV and related certification tracks.

It’s recommended to take the modules in sequence. However, if you're already experienced with lifecycle and monitoring, you may benefit from starting directly with Module 3 on troubleshooting.

Both. You’ll learn how to think through root cause analysis systematically and apply tools like log bundles, alerts, and dashboard metrics to isolate problems.

Basic familiarity with virtualization, vSphere interfaces, and core VMware terminology will help. Prior hands-on experience is not required, but exposure to VMware systems is preferred.

Cloud engineers, VMware administrators, system engineers, NOC technicians, and IT support professionals working with virtualized environments will find this course highly relevant.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.
