The “call for locations” content has the first result: in April 2014 there are some special edition of the VCAP and VCDX Bootcamp in Europe, outside of the traditional big events (like VMworld or PEX).

This is a great opportunity to increase you skills, knowledge but also your confidence with those certification programs.

VCAP Bootcamp is mostly dedicated to the design exams, but this time also the admin exams will be considered.

VCDX Bootcamp is a half day session (little less) that can really help you in the VCDX preparation, especially to understand the entire VCDX process with more attention on the application and the defense part. In my opinion could be a must for each new VCDX.

Note: actually there aren’t any available seats left. You will put in the waiting queue.

Booting from CD is not the only way, but custom ISO could be used also for boot from USB or for boot from virtual devices (like the iDRAC or ILOE).

GlobalKnowledge as realize a new list of top paying certification (see 15 Top Paying Certifications for 2014). Each year they present this kind of report (see also the 2013 and 2012 note).

As usual, some high level certifications are not represented due to their exclusive nature. These include CCIE: Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert and VCDX: VMware Certified Design Expert, and mainly all the Top IT Certifications.
