For someone with a CCNA, do you think the VCTA-DCV is a good pairing/foundation for the VCP-NV? From what I can see, the VCTA seems to be roughly 60% focused on introducing the products and 40% about the technology itself. I'm torn between going for the VCTA first or heading straight to the VCP-NV --> DCV. My experience with vSphere is mostly through labs. I would love to hear your thoughts on that. Thanks!
Primarily the pairing between the CCNA and the VCP-NV is to save money so you do not need to take the mandatory training offered for this certification
@@DrOgas-qm5js it all depends on the company you are going for and what role you want. If you are wanting to stick to a more cloud or automation primary role, I would say Kubernetes
Cut nuggets doesn’t have much for vcta it has the old vca dcv which is discontinued and vcp so for videos not much but they do have a breakdown you can search for free
Good info, I think. Seems you had some *VERY* serious mic issues going on there. Maybe record a bit and preview to test next time. Otherwise, from what little I could actually make out, sounded on point. Clean up the Mic, and keep on making vids. Look forward to hearing the next one.
Hey Penguin, we actually just had a new mic come in recently, so there may be a different sound to all future videos coming out. Thank you so much for the feedback and I hope the info helped!
Best free study material for VCTA? E.g. I want to obtain and study as much material as possible for free and only spend money for taking the test. Is VCTA still the entry level cert for VMWare?
Thanks Dalton, im just wondering where can I get some study material just for VCTA-DCV for a lower price?; i don't want to spend $269 for a 1 year subscription. :/
In the video, I mention Keith Barker's course for this certification as well as the Exam Guide by Robert Schmidt. However, you can also find those as the first two links listed above in the Video Description. I hope that helps BAINZ :D
@@ProjektNoiseBox I know a lot of people from my previous employer, they work, like I did with OU groups, managing an enterprises active directory but never even went for their MCSA. That was until the department got outsourced and they were told to apply for their own positions. That is part of the reason I tell people not to become complacent and always do what is in the best interest for your career, even if you love your job.
@@mehmetturanguzel1111 I would say it is not a good start for an IT career. If you are starting I would go with the more fundamental route with either CompTIA A+ certification, Google IT Support Certificate, or Microsoft 365 Modern Desktop Administrator Associate. However, if you already have a Support/Help Desk job or experience this is definitely an amazing certification to start your role-specific pathway in IT.
@@DaltonInCloud hı thanks for reply. 1 month ago i started a job as a system administrator and we are usually using vmware techs. I am New at this. Vcp course price a lot of money in my country bcz of that i am thinking to get vcta certification.
I worked in a company that utilized VMWare previously, and still do. With that in mind, a VMWare cert will be a nice have, however, I recommend the core certs first. The reason for this is stayed in my other VMWare video where I explain when you go for the associate level cert the course is mandatory. However, there is a way to cheat the system, which I explain can be done with a little help from networking knowledge.
Solid strategy. No, I love their nugget sized video idea. When I was studying for Net+ using their videos it was perfect to go and study a subject on break.
In 2019, VMWare decided that all of their certifications don't expire anymore. It's up to you when are you going to take a VMWare certification exam again. If you passed a VMWare certification in mid-2019 onward, it doesn't expire. You are certified for life.
I think a career in virtualization is very promising, but it is what you make it, also if you compound it with other experience, such as sys admin or networking, it can be amazingly promising. Just be sure to constantly lab and even if you can, document how you lab, so you can remember how to explain your process during any future interviews.
@@DaltonInCloud do you mean to study for CCNA for example to compound it? cuz i dont think i can work as network admin and vmware admin at the same time, though i would love to lol. i love both worlds. but yea i believe my job now in vmware team is considered being a sys admin.. thanks for ur input btw!
@@GroovyKid94 Yeah, I hope it helps, I just meant a lot of jobs can require virtualization, such as Datacenter admin, system engineer, or in your case, admin, I have even seen NOC Analyst roles require virtualization. That is just what I was getting at. But I am glad you already know the sys admins utilize virtualization at your current company, that already puts you above the competition.
@@DaltonInCloud yea we have a vmware team, responsible for most servers in our company because they are virtualized except the few ones which are physical. Thanks alot Dalton! Hope i can see my future prosper in this role ive been put in.
You got this, just keep applying yourself and always network with people in your company to help put you in their mind for any current or future positions

@@DaltonInCloud Good point, thanks!
@@DaltonInCloud My question.
In your opinion, what opens more doors?
This certification or kubernetes
@@DrOgas-qm5js it all depends on the company you are going for and what role you want. If you are wanting to stick to a more cloud or automation primary role, I would say Kubernetes
@@DaltonInCloud Thanks for your answer. I currently have AWS certificates, so I'll try to prioritize
what for is the exam In multiple choice or performance based? Does anyone know? Thanks and no I didn't watch the video lol fully atlesast
Cut nuggets doesn’t have much for vcta it has the old vca dcv which is discontinued and vcp so for videos not much but they do have a breakdown you can search for free
Yeah, CBT probably not the most up to date when it comes to VMWare resources
Still more up to date than others, which is why it was on the list
@@DaltonInCloud agreed and they do have free content for the vcta such as articles

@@DaltonInCloud I saw VCP-DCV course price(1550 dolar) and i said NO :D. Do you think VCTA certification good start for IT career?

Does the VCTA-DCV expire after 2 years?
