Nowadays, everything in computer world is going into virtualization and cloud computing environment. I think this skill set is in high demand right now. I wanted to get myself certified in this course too but the course fee is still too expensive for me.

For those who are interested in getting the VCP4, the paths are shown below.
Unlike other certifications track, vmware always requires the all the candidates to attend the training course as pre-requisite before taking the test.

# VMware Certified Professional on vSphere™ 4
With the launch of vSphere™ 4, a new certification is available.

There are four possible paths to achieve VCP4

1. If you are NEW to VMware
* Attend the VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage course OR attend the VMware vSphere 4: Fast Track (available in Q4)
* Take and pass the VCP4 exam
