[Posting this in the VCA forum area in the absence of a dedicated VCTA area]
VMware Learning have released a new "starter" technical certification level - VMware Certified Technical Associate (VCTA) - aimed at those working in Day 2 Operations types of roles.
The initial line-up includes 3 VCTAs:
Digital Workspace (DW) and Cloud Management & Automation (CMA) versions will follow.
These new certifications are at a lower level than VCP and do not have a formal training requirement (although recommended training for each will be released soon) - the mandatory element of each VCTA is the passing of the corresponding exam.
Here's my blog post on the VCTAs: VMware Training and Certification: New Certifications - VMware Certified Technical Associate (VCTA)
