The company will start offering classroom, instructor-led trainings to partners from November 2011. And, the training schedule has been already announced and partners can have access to it through ATS website. ”
“We already have a VMware Certified Instructor on board who will be conducting trainings for channel partners in the region. The company has also secured addition office space within our current premises that will host the training centre,” he said.
Mario Veljovic added that initially the vSphere: Install, Configure and Manage course will be offered, before adding more courses for partners.
