Virtual Learning Center (VLC) Sdn Bhd is an appointed VMware Authorized Training Center (VATC) by VMware Education Center worldwide. We deliver a comprehensive VMware education program which is specially designed and crafted by VMware specialist to meet our customer needs.

Our objective is to ensure our students are properly trained and technically-enabled in VMware’s virtualization technology.

Our key differentiators:

State-of-Art Technology & Facilities
Our training center is equipped with state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. We have spent considerable investment on the latest servers (with the latest processor), a dedicated fiber and iSCSI SAN Storage running on a Gigabit network infrastructure, to simulate the best training environment for virtual architecture. Our training lab architecture is endorsed and certified by VMware Inc.

With these state-of-the-art lab facilities, students are able to have their lab exercises done on a LAN environment instead of relying on a slouch yet unstable Internet connectivity to VMware’s official Lab centre in the US. (In our previous setup, we have 2MB Internet connection to access VMware Lab Kit in US).

Our lab facilities are in full compliant to the latest VMware vSphere training and we will continue to provide continuous improvement on our facilities. 

Certified Instructor with Hands-on experience
Our instructors are highly qualified VMware Certified Instructors (VCI). In addition, our instructors must be a VMware Certified Professional (VCP) with outstanding VCP high marks and has gone through many years of virtualization implementation. We believe only instructors with hands-on implementation experience are able to deliver better quality teaching and are able to understand a customer’s needs.

Focus, commitment and dedication to VMware Education
Our training center only focuses in delivering VMware education courses. With our focus and commitment, it ensures productive and quality learning experience to our customers.

We aim to be the market leader in providing VMware Education across Asean countries.
