The platform is part of Veeam’s educational program and offers in-depth technical courses designed to help professionals achieve official Veeam certifications. It is a paid professional training program offered through an annual subscription.
Certifications
Veeam has recently changed its certification program. Through Veeam University Pro, you can now prepare for the following certifications:
VMCE – Veeam Certified Engineer
Validates that a professional can install, configure, and manage the Veeam Data Platform.
VMCE+ (new)

VMCSE – Veeam Certified Security Expert (new)

The Platform
Veeam University itself is not new — the platform has been around for some time. However, it traditionally offered only introductory and awareness-level content focused on data protection and security concepts.
Veeam University Pro, on the other hand, is designed to provide more technical and in-depth training across Veeam’s ecosystem and products.
The focus is not just on professionals who want to use Veeam in daily operations, but also on those who aim to design, implement, and operate backup and data recovery environments using Veeam solutions.

The Method
The learning methodology used in the courses is delivered through videos, demonstrations, and guided walkthroughs. The video and audio quality is very good. The content is in English.
Additional Content

In addition, there are other instructional interactions, instructional cards, notes, and observations for each theme.
Guided Videos and Questions
All lessons end with a guided video where you can interact with the interfaces of the software used.

It is subscription-based and is aimed at those who need to master the architecture, implementation, operation, and security of the platform in real-world environments.
