VMware Certified Technical Associate (VCTA) exam

[michaelj01]

I'm preparing for VMware Certified Technical Associate (VCTA) exam and got the preparation material from https://learning.customerconnect.vmware.com/site/program.do?dispatch=showProgramSession&id=f132fdf5-... I'm practicing as well with [bleep] for my prep assessment and that helped me a lot in identifying the mistakes and understanding the core concepts. Everything is going well, just looking for tips or advice to make sure that I'm not missing anything or is there anything else I should go for before taking the exam. Thanks.

I don't think you need anything else if you preparing from the VMware's recommended material and then practice questions with practice exams too. You should be good to go now and pass the exam in first attempt. Best of luck!

Thank you. I'm trying my level best and I hope I'll pass the exam in first attempt. Just wanted a bit of advice from a professional.

Hmm, I do wonder if [bleep] is a glorified paid-for brain dump, rather than questions they have written and validated themselves.

Hello,

Can anyone point me to the Core Technical Skills training for VCTA?  I keep getting links that do not work for the training.

Thanks

Here is a link to the DCV VCTA training: https://mylearn.vmware.com/gw/mylearn/course/course-details/95989. It is a myLearn link so possibly try logging in first. It would be helpful to understand where you are sourcing your links from and which certification you are trying to achieve.

Thank you Sharelle!

The link I was trying to access under my customer connect account is:

https://mylearn.vmware.com/gw/mylearn/course/course-details/95989

It just sits blank.

When I try and access this link:

https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/professional-services/vmw-vcta-cou...

It tells me to get a premium account so that maybe the issue.

I get a 400 bad request when I click that link.

The website seems to be a bit "twitchy" in terms of browser cache/cookies.
I tried this link in a new browser tab: https://mylearn.vmware.com/gw/mylearn/course/course-details/95989
It worked first time.
I tried it again and got an error.
It works every time when I open an incognito window in Chrome, so maybe try that (or the equivalent for whatever browser you use)

That link is working for me.

Works fine for me in an Incognito window in Chrome.
