Veritas Certification (As my first ever IT Cert - Newbie here)

I am curious about everything related to Veritas and would like to explore it further. Can you help me point in the right direction on where to start to become a Veritas guru someday :) ? Do you have any certification recommendations? If yes, which particular certification should I pursue? Are there any practice labs available where I can experiment with Veritas devices and explore their features? To be honest, I am feeling confused and overwhelmed with the abundance of information available online. Can you suggest a roadmap or a step-by-step guide that I can follow? Thank you in advance for any insights, recommendations, or clarifications that you can provide.

    Veritas is a company with a lot of different products to explore. Which ones interest you, or which ones have you been tasked to support ? 

    Have you looked through the educational options in the Veritas Education page yet ?

    Note that most of the certs highly recommend (and I would too) that you have some experience with the hardware/software you're being tested on, whether in a formal training class or a decent amount of time supporting it at work. 

    The cert tests should all list the recommended course material you should be familiar with prior to taking the test, as well as both an exam prep guide & a sample exam to hone your skills with. 

    If you decide to focus on a particular product (i.e. NetBackup), let us know and we can provide more specific links if desired. 

    Good luck on your journey !
