  • Nutanix Certified Associate (NCA) - IT professionals with an NCA certification have demonstrated that they have the skills to navigate a Nutanix Cluster. They ideally have 6-12 months of IT experience and can assist in operating and managing a Nutanix Enterprise Cloud.

    The NCA Beta exam is now closed. Thank you to everyone who participated! Please visit www.nutanix.com/education for more information on the NCA certification.

  • Nutanix Hybrid Cloud Fundamentals (NHCF) - This course introduces the products, capabilities, and technologies that form the foundation of Nutanix’s Hybrid Cloud solution. You’ll explore the different types of clouds and how on-prem and public infrastructures came together to create hybrid models. Then, you will delve deeper into essential Nutanix products - AOS, AHV, and Prism - while discussing how these products were designed to solve business challenges. And finally, you’ll discuss the fundamentals of operating the Nutanix Hybrid Cloud, such as cluster updates, managing virtual machines, reporting and performance metrics, and more.

I have got the mail from Nutanix that some certifications are getting new names. I think when we book an exam , the older names should also be mentioned there as so identify not book same exam which we have completed earlier.
