VCP: VMware Certified Professional Discussions

  • 1.  Path Renew Vcp

    Good evening everyone.
     
    I would like some support with a question. Last year I renewed my VCP through training and received the badge (VMware Certified Professional - Data Center Virtualization 2024) VMware Certified Professional - Data Center Virtualization 2024 was issued by Broadcom to Carlos Adelmo. . Is it still necessary to renew the VCP every year? If so, do I need to take the test again to guarantee renewal? I ask because the test I see available for scheduling seems to be the same version for which I earned the badge last year.

    The VCP-DCV 2025 requirements haven't been announced yet so we are all waiting to find out what the upgrade path will be. 

    One thing you won't be able to do is take an exam again that you have already passed so that option to renew is not available. I would imagine at some point this year after vSphere 9 / VCF 9 has been released that there will be an updated exam with the new content but we will have to wait and see. 

    Worth noting however that Broadcom seem to be taking the product in a particular direction and the two new certifications (VCP-VVF Admin and VCP-VCF Admin) are aligned with that new direction so if you wanted to remain current, I'd seriously take a look at either of those two new certifications.
