Meaning of PSE in certification exam

[rubenortega]

Hi,

What's the meaning of PSE in VCP510PSE: VMware Certified Professional 5 - Data Center Virtualization PSE ?

thanks in advance.

[JoshuaAndrewsVM]

Where are you seeing that?  Google retuned nothing, as did a quick glance at the blueprint and PearsonVUE.com

[Scott Vessey]

That's the exam code used for students taking their training through a VMAP - an academic training partner.

No idea what the PSE part stands for though.

[ShivendraSaxena]

PSE stands for Partner, Students & Employees. this exam (VCP510PSE) can be taken by Partner, Students & Employees. Rest exam is same.

I work for a VMware partner, is there discount for VCAP certification?  Thanks for the information.

[rhaslund]

Unfortunately no.

I also work for a VMware partner and we also have to pay full price.

Sometimes VMware offers short time discounts to everyone, not just partners.

But these are typically limited to emerging markets.

[ShivendraSaxena]

how to get 70% off code?

Regards

[rhaslund]

It seems you did not click the link I sent you.

You could get that if you are a student at for example "California State University, Bakersfield - Computer Science".

[ShivendraSaxena]

I tried link but as I am not student at "California State University, Bakersfield - Computer Science" so I don't have an account with them, which is required to get discount voucher.

regards

[Vinodshreenivas]

Even i am looking out for discount voucher. i guess will have to wait until VMware rolls out some great discount :smileyhappy:

[AnthonyChow]

PSE stands for 'Professional Services Engineering' which is part of 'VMware Global Technology Solutions'.
This exam code is used for students taking their training through an academic training partner.

@dGeorgey do you work for VMWARE?

[Scott Vessey]

VMware employees using the forum have a VM icon under their photo/avatar, such as the one you'll see for myself.

[Scott Vessey]

I don't think those 2 sentences are related.

Yes, PSE internally within VMware is Professional Services Engineering, but what that has to do with the exam for academic students I'm not sure...

[aakim82]

Hi guys,

In the context of the exam itself, what is the difference between 2V0-621 and 2V0-621PSE?

Are there different number of questions or different questions?

Thanks in advance.

[Scott Vessey]

No.
