Key Questions About VMware Knowledge and Skills Assessment (KSA)
A minimum of 10 participants is recommended to provide a complete, comprehensive comparative analysis. However, we will consider every case individually.
My IT team works with multiple VMware solutions, can the KSA cover assessment of all of them?
The KSA is perfect for teams with multiple VMware solutions as it provides an understanding of the skills landscape across most of the critical VMware technology areas. A personalised training plan can be created even for very complex needs.
My organisation has completed a KSA before, can we conduct it again?
It is not uncommon for an organisation to conduct multiple assessments during a 12 to 18-month period. Additional or subsequent assessments are also complimentary and can measure quantifiable team skill progression.
