Depending on which VM manager product you are going with will decide if you really need training or not. The Microsoft Hyper-V product by itself needs little training but the VMWare will cost you more in time and training. If you are going with some of the Microsoft add on stuff like SCCM/SCVMM etc. then you would be best to get training on their product as well. MyITForum would be a good place to start for the System Center line of product and asking about training. I would think that VMWare has forums that could direct you to semi-local training on their product.
