For VMware courses, you will usually receive the course documentation as an eKit.
VMware eKits are provided via the eVantage (VitalSource Bookshelf) platform. These e-books can be used in online mode via browser or offline with an appropriate reader. These options are available for PC, Mac, iOS, Android, and Kindle Fire. Comments and markings inserted by you will be automatically synchronized between all end devices.
Please bring your laptop or tablet to be able to access the e-book! This will allow you to conveniently access the course documentation during and after the course.
Please note the following steps to be performed:
1. Account and On-line Access
As a matter of principle, you need an account at VitalSource Bookshelf. You should create this account prior to attending the course. The account enables you to use your e-book on-line. The account is also required for the off-line variant of the e-books.
2. Install Program or App
You should install the appropriate VitalSource Reader as a program or app on your end device prior to the course if you wish to use the course contents independent of the network connection.
You can find the corresponding apps for OS, Android, or Kindle Fire in the respective App Store.
You can find the Reader programs for Mac and PC on the Vital Source Support Page. Please note that you need administrator authorization on your PC in order to install these programs.

The Redeem Code, which is used to unlock your VMware e-book, will be emailed to you before the course begins. In the VitalSource Bookshelf, go to Redeem and enter the code there.
