Announced at the VMworld conference in San Francisco, the new VMware Certified Associate (VCA) certification will be available in four topic areas: data center virtualisation, cloud, workforce mobility and network virtualisation. Each includes free online learning modules; as usual with these certifications, you’ll pay for the exam. Hit the link below for more details.
