Mission

Closing the gap between theory and real-world implementation

27 Virtual Education was founded in 2006 with a single mission: give engineers, architects, and technical teams the practical knowledge they can immediately apply on the job. Our programs are VMware-centric β€” with deep focus on VCF, NSX, vSAN, automation, and security β€” and every course is designed and delivered by engineers who actually deploy these solutions in production environments.

Signature Program

NSX Ninja

A signature deep-dive program recognized for its operational depth and real-world focus. Not slides β€” working labs and production-grade scenarios.

Working Labs Production Scenarios Operational Depth
Signature Program

VCF Ninja

VMware Cloud Foundation end-to-end β€” architecture, deployment, day-2 operations, and automation. Built for engineers who need to own the stack.

Methodology

How we train

Every session is led by engineers who deploy these technologies for a living. Our training approach reflects the way real infrastructure work actually gets done.

01

Practitioner-led instruction

Every course is taught by engineers with active hands-on deployment experience β€” not career trainers reading off slides. Your team learns from people who run these environments daily.

No slide-only sessions

02

Custom-scoped to your environment

We don't use a generic template. Before each engagement, we assess your team's skill level, existing infrastructure, and goals β€” then build the curriculum around what you actually need.

Tailored every time

03

Hands-on throughout

Training includes real lab work β€” not just walkthroughs. Students work through scenarios that mirror production conditions so the learning transfers directly back to the job.

Production-grade labs

04

Woven into consulting engagements

Training doesn't have to be a separate event. Ad-hoc sessions happen throughout every project β€” questions get answered in context, as the work unfolds, not just at the end.

In-engagement learning

05

Formal knowledge transfer at close

Every SOW includes a structured KT session at project completion β€” covering architecture decisions, runbooks, and operational procedures so your team truly owns the outcome.

Included in every SOW

06

Flexible format & duration

From a focused 1-hour deep dive to a structured 5-day workshop β€” we match the format to your team's schedule, learning pace, and depth requirements. On-site or remote.

1 hour to 5 days

Our Approach

How education fits the engagement

Training isn't a one-time event β€” it's woven through every phase of how we work with you.

Step 01
Discovery & Scoping

We assess your team's current knowledge level and identify gaps to build a custom training plan that runs alongside the project.

Step 02
In-Engagement Sessions

Your team participates in ad-hoc sessions throughout the project β€” questions answered in real time, in context, as the work unfolds.

Step 03
Structured Knowledge Transfer

At project completion, we deliver the formal KT session outlined in the SOW β€” covering architecture decisions, runbooks, and operational procedures.

Step 04
Self-Sufficiency

The goal isn't dependency β€” it's capability. Your team should be able to operate, modify, and grow the solution without us.
