VMware credentials offer a complete certification roadmap
encompassing all skills levels and are recognized globally as best in class.
VMware's V5 credentials are being phased out and replaced
with credentials based on VMware vSphere 6.
VMware offers candidates an entry-level cert in the form of
the VMware Certified Associate 6 - Data Center Virtualization (VCA6-DCV),
followed by the VMware Certified Professional 6 - Data Center Virtualization
(VCP6-DCV).
The VCP6-DCV is a professional-level certification that
prepares credential holders for more advanced certifications, including the
VMware Certified Advanced Professional (VCAP6-DCV), VMware Certified
Implementation Expert (VCIX6-DCV) and the pinnacle cert, VMware Certified
Design Expert (VCDX-DCV).
Training is required for non-credential holders seeking to
obtain the VCP6-DCV. Global IT Training offers a variety of training options to
meet the training prerequisite: live online and live classroom, some of which
include virtual labs. Candidates who have prior vSphere 5.x training but aren't
VCP certified must complete the "what's new" (V5.5 to V6) training
course and pass the associated exams. Those possessing a valid VCP5-DCV
credential need only pass a delta exam to obtain the credential.
