In light of the recent launch of VMware® vSphere® 8, you may have questions about the new courses for vSphere 8.
We have some answers. 

The first thing to know is that you can find the new vSphere 8 courses in our academic portals, both Kivuto and D2L Brightspace. 

To help you identify the key differences in the new version, we will offer a new course in the Train-the-Trainer group on VMware Customer Connect Learning: “What’s new: vSphere 7 to 8.”  

The new course will include new labs. Our academic lab partner NDG aims to offer the new vSphere 8 course labs through the latest version of NETLAB+ and through their cloud lab offering in the April timeframe. NDG will also be able to support existing NETLAB+ users with older vSphere software bundles to deploy their older NETLAB+ deployments.
