When you register for the class you will be given an option to use credits to pay for the class -

Regarding your software licenses and support: you should have also received, in a separate email, license activation codes and instructions on how to activate your support subscription. If you didn't, check your spam folder, and then if necessary contact VMware customer service: https://www.vmware.com/contact/contactus.html?department=customer_service

Regarding training: the ideal use of the 30 PSO credits you bought is to apply them to sending someone to the VMware Infrastructure 3: Install and Configure training course. In the course schedule listings here:

http://mylearn.vmware.com/mgrreg/courses.cfm?ui=www&a=sort&orderby=0&id_subject=3036

you may pay using PSO credits for any class marked with a "¢". Not all classes delivered by VMware Authorized Training Centers accept PSO credits yet for payment; we're actively working on this issue.

BTW,

As VMware Training is mandatory to be VCP Certified, Does this training which included with the Bundle Promotion will eligible me to take the VCP exam?

Hussain Al Sayed

It's close to midnight in the time zone where the customer service people work; I will place phone calls on your behalf tomorrow morning.

Incidentally, I should clarify what is included in the bundle you purchased. Although we recommend that you spend the 30 PSO credits towards VI3 training, you may also, if you wish, spend them on consulting services from VMware or a VMware Authorized Consulting partner who accepts PSO credits.

The primary course people take in order to satisfy the VMware Certified Professional certification's training requirement is VMware Infrastructure 3: Install and Configure. You may take this course either from VMware or from a VMware Authorized Training Center. The price of a seat in this course in many locations around the world, when VMware delivers it direct, is 30 PSO Credits. But VATCs set their own prices, so they may quote a price more or less than 30. For VATCs who charge more than 30 credits, you may need to buy a few additional credits from VMware to "top-up."

Hello Brian,

I really appreciated your help. However, since the PSO will eligible me to tale the training and it's considered to be a VMware Official Training, I would go for this instead of Consulting them for a Services of Design, because I can't pay this amount for the Training to be taken abroad "Because the Training is not available in my country" and my organization are not welling to send me for it.

There is an online Course for VMware Infrastructure 3: Install and Configure to be held on 22 of July. I wish to take this course.

Hello,

Any progress?

Best Regards,

Hussain Al Sayed

I will alert the education customer service team of your desire to take an online VMware Infrastructure 3: Install and Configure course, and to pay for it with PSO credits.

Incidentally, one of our European colleagues is investigating the possibility that you might be able to take a delivery of this course in the United Arab Emirates or Saudi Arabia, and pay with PSO credits. Are these locations close enough to you in Bahrain to be of interest?

Hello,

Yes, these locations are closed to me spacially Saudi Arabia, it's a matter or 1 hour or 45 minutes to reach Saudi Arabia, but again it depends on the Location in Saudi Arabia. Even the United Arab Emirates. If I take it online i can save travelling time, expenses and vacation days as my Bank i don't think will allow me to take a Vacation in these days. But you advice please.

Best Regards,

Hussain Al Sayed

Hello,

Yes, these locations are closed to me, speacilly Saudi Arabia. But is there any difference between taking this course online or attend a class? I don't think there is a different with me beacuse i'm already i have got 3 years Hands-on Experiance with Virtualization specially ESX Server. Currently, I have a project that I'm working on it for our Bank consists of 3 Blade Servers Clustered VI3 using HP SAN Storage that going to host, Exchange, DNS, DC, File Servers, Applications Servers, Oracle Database, SQL Database and for sure some of them that's gonna be converted P2V and V2V as well

Hi Brain,

But is there any difference between taking this course online or attend a class?Live-online deliveries of our instructor-led courses have the same content as do in-person deliveries. The primary advantage of live-online classes is that they do not require travel; the primary advantage of in-person classes is that they provide a structured time that's shielded from work-related or personal interruptions. Another reason why people like open-enrollment deliveries in particular is that they give opportunities to meet other VMware customers and compare notes about experiences. (Although students do interact with one another during live-online deliveries, sometimes there's no substitute for having lunch with people!)

already i have got 3 years Hands-on Experiance with Virtualization specially ESX Server.

However, the course is not specifically keyed to the contents of the VCP examination. So if you are primarily looking for a course that will help you prepare for the examination, VI3: I&C would be the better choice.

Yes, what I'm looking is to prepare for the VCP examination. As a begining will start with the VI3: I&C as you suggested. Now, I have already registered for the course to be given online Instructer-Led.

I hope next time will be having the opportunity to meet other people by attending in-person course.

Best Regards,

Hussain Al Sayed
