    I sat for my 2V0-621 and passed, is it possible to sit for 2V0-602 to get VCP6.5  without having cleared 2V0-620 ?

    Hello mayibongwemd,

    Assuming you are taking a "New Candidate Requirements" approach

    VMware Certified Professional 6.5 - Data Center Virtualization

    1. Foundation exam can be off version 6 (2V0-620) or version 6.5 (2V0-602)
    2. Main exam version 6 (2V0-621) makes you qualify for VCP6-DCV
    3. version 6.5 exam (2V0-622) for VCP6.5-DCV
    4. Catch here is, which "required training courses" you have taken or going to take? Version 6.5's training qualifies you to take both 6 and 6.5 exams.

    To get VCP6.5-DCV, you must take 2V0-622, and required training.

    621 is the VCP exam for 6.0, and 602 is the Foundations exam for 6.5 - that combination would give you VCP6-DCV NOT VCP6.5-DCV.

    To get VCP6.5-DCV you would have to pass the VCP exam for 6.5 - the 622.

    You'd also need to meet the training requirement for either VCP6-DCV or VCP6.5-DCV​ - check Path 1 on either page.
