Free VMware Labs

VMware's Hands on Labs are a fantastic resource to learn new and existing VMware solutions from the ground up. There are a few different types from Learning Labs which are self-paced with a manual through to challenge labs which are like mini tests that you can use to validate your skills.

Why take a VMware HOL?

  • They are free!
  • Learn about new solutions which might benefit your business or career in just an hour or less
  • Take a challenge lab to validate your skills
  • They run the latest versions of the technology you want to learn
  • An easy way to study for exams such as VCP or VCAP Deployment exams
  • No software needed to run, just a web browser
  • No downloads or installations required
  • No hardware / compatibility / workarounds or licensing issues

There are my personal favourite Hands on Labs (in no particular order of course :-) )
