No, start with CentOS to learn. Did you start reading my book on learning Linux Administration? It talks about why desktop distros should be avoided.
-
@scottalanmiller no yet .
-
Start reading that while VirtualBox is downloading.
-
@scottalanmiller ok.
-

Google does not provide downloads. You download from CentOS' own site, centos.org
-
This is VirtualBox...
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.1.2/VirtualBox-5.1.2-108956-Win.exe
-
@scottalanmiller yeah Great scott thank you . i understand now .

These questions definitely show that you are way too early in your career to be considering any formal (university or certification) training or to even be talking about Windows, Linux, VMware, networking, etc. foci. You need to work with technologies, learn about them and get a firm foundation. You should not be wondering how to get Linux or what VirtualBox is or wondering how to acquire them if you are going to go into a class. That's stuff that anyone in a class would be expected to not just know, but have done many times, that you would have already used many Linux systems and practiced with them, that you'd been using Windows, that you knew multiple virtualization systems, etc.
I think that looking at Linux Administration might be a bit premature. Getting it installed will be good at learning some stuff. But I think that you might be skipping over a lot of the basics of IT to try to go right to advanced skills without a clear understanding of how to get there.
Let's start with... what have you been doing thus far?

@FrostyPhoenix thanks mate!

Welcome!

Everyone has to start somewhere, of course. So nothing wrong there. I just think that you are jumping in with your sights set on "what class will make me money" rather than "wanting to learn IT skills" which is where you are. You need a good foundational understanding of systems, networking, databases, scripting, applications, storage and more before looking at career paths.
For example, have you done your Network+ yet? If not, are you just skipping it because you are already familiar with the material in it? Nothing wrong with not having the cert, but you should be able to ace the exam without worrying before looking at any of these advanced career paths. The knowledge there and in the Server+ are just assumed knowledge that you would have before looking into any administration path, for example.
