I have recently completed one of the recommended training courses, which resulted in my VCP-DCV certification being updated from VCP-2023 to VCP-2024 v2. However, I have encountered some challenges regarding the renewal and upgrade paths for the VCAP-DCV Deploy certification.

Specifically:

  • Upgrade Path: While there is an upgrade path from VCAP-2023, I have not found an option to renew or upgrade my VCAP-DCV Deploy 2024 to VCAP-DCV Deploy 2024 v2.

  • Certification Status: According to CertMetrics, my VCAP-DCV Deploy certification is set to retire on 2024-05-05. Additionally, my VCIX certification was retired on 2025-01-11.

Could you please provide guidance on the following:

  1. Renewal Process: What steps should I take to renew my VCAP-DCV Deploy certification to the latest version?

  2. Upgrade Path: Is there an available upgrade path from VCAP-DCV Deploy 2024 to VCAP-DCV Deploy 2024 v2? If so, could you provide details on how to proceed?

  3. Impact on VCIX Certification: How does the retirement of my VCAP-DCV Deploy certification affect my VCIX status, and what actions are necessary to maintain or reinstate it?

I appreciate your assistance in clarifying these matters to ensure I can maintain my certifications in alignment with VMware's current policies.

Actually the same is for VMware Certified Professional - Network Virtualization
There is upgrade path from VMware Certified Professional - Network Virtualization 2023 (VCP-NV 2023) to VCP-NV 2024 [v2]

But not from VCP-NV 2024 to VCP-NV 2024 [v2]
