The following self-paced course is now available: VMware vCloud Director Essentials [V5.1]. I worked through an earlier version that was based on vCloud Director 1.5. If your new to vCD as I was/am it’s worth working through especially prior to attending the official courses.
This course is designed for SEs (VMware/Partner) and customers who want to learn about the components, architecture, functions, and benefits of vCloud Director.
