  • 1.  Help - VCP 6.7 to 7.0 requirements?

    Posted Mar 12, 2021 10:06 PM

    Hi all,

    I have a question about VCP-DCV 7 requirements. Currently I have the following 6.7 items:

    • Attended Install Manage Configure 6.7 course (April 2020)
    • Passed vSphere Foundations 6.7 (July 2020)

    I was going to take the VCP-DCV 6.7 exam imminently, but just realised the exam has expired and it is ALL now vSphere 7.0

    My question - Do any of my 6.7 components (course or Foundation exam), count towards VCP 7 ?

    OR do i have to start again from the beginning? Eg attend a new vSphere 7 qualifying course and retake the Foundations 7 exam again?

    Many Thanks

    Mark

    The retirement date for the 6.7 certification exam has been extended to June, 30th.

      From that link you posted, am i correct that certifying on vSphere 7, requires the Professional exam only (i.e. no Foundation exam?).

     

    I ask as the Foundation exam is listed as a requirement on 6.7 but not 7.0.?

    That's what I understand from the requirements.
    For details about that see e.g. https://blogs.vmware.com/education/2020/07/31/new-course-exam-announcements-in-july/

    Note that there is no VCP 7 or VCP-DCV 7, VMware switched to using a year designator at the start of 2019, so if you complete the requirements of any of the paths on the page linked to above before the end of this year, you will be awarded VCP-DCV 2021.
