VCI Sponsor requested

fbenhoussa — Wed, 22 Jan 2014 22:14:50 GMT

Hello

After one months, after I took my VCP5-DCV course and about 1 year of working in my home lab on different scenarios, I sat my exam on 21/01/14 and fortunately I pass the exam with score of 455.

I'm interested in becoming VCI .

I have been sent here by VMware education since they thought this would be the easiest way for me to find a sponsor for my pursuit of VCI. Is there any broker that would be able to sponsor me?

I am a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT,MCITP,MCSE,MCSA)

Thank you for your help in advance.

I worked as a VCI for 6 years for 2 different VATC partners - my recommendation would be to discover which VATCs work in the locations that you would want to work, then reach out to them to see if they are looking to grow their VCI resources and would be willing to sponsor you.

You can search for training centres here: VMware Training - Training Centers

Welcome to the Community - to add to Scott's excellent advice you also contact some of the national training vendors like Global Knowledge -

I have already contacted two VATC, but I received no response at this point.

Thank you for your quick reply

It will depend on your location, and whether the VATC is looking for additional VCIs to deliver their training.
