VMware Certified Advanced Professional is now offical

Earlier today VMware announced details about the VCAP certifications. These are the two new intermediate certifications that are also used as steps towards earning the VCDX.

Upon accomplishing VMware Certified Professional on VMware vSphere 4 (VCP4) you are eligible to pursue our intermediate level certification: VMware Certified Advanced Professional (VCAP). Available in Datacenter Administration (DCA) and/or Datacenter Design (DCD), this program is appropriate for VCP4s that are ready to further enhance their skills with the virtual infrastructure and add new, industry-recognized credentials to their list of accomplishments. Find the full details from VMware here.
VCAP4 – Datacenter Administration – Gain industry recognition for your technical leadership in the planning and administration of vSphere technologies. You will be able to sit for the exam starting July 12.

VCAP4 – Datacenter Design – This design focused exam is expected to be available sometime in August.

New VMware Certifications coming soon

There has been rumblings for awhile now about some new intermediate certifications coming from VMware. Today Scott Vessey is confirming the names of the new Certifications. He also goes on to say that there should be a formal announcement coming in a few weeks. I look forward towards several of these and what the paths will look like for achieving them. One immediate question that comes to mind would be how these new certifications work with the VCDX. For example while working towards the VCDX you are required to pass a Enterprise Admin and then a Design exam. Would these be also the steps to earn these new certifications and provide a higher level of recognition to Admins that do not wish to progress all the way to the VCDX? Hopefully these details are cleared up in the coming weeks.

  • Enterprise Administrator Certification (Final name may differ)
  • Design Administrator Certification (Final name may differ)
  • VMware Certified Design Expert on vSphere 4 (VCDX4)
