VCAP6-DCV Deploy + VCAP6.5-DCV Design = ?

[nem1s1s]

Hi, will passing the following 2 exams achieve VCIX6-DCV?

3V0-623 - VMware Certified Advanced Professional 6 – Data Center Virtualization Deployment Exam

3V0-624 - VMware Certified Advanced Professional 6.5 – Data Center Virtualization Design Exam

There is no real clear explanation from VMware.

I am pretty sure that this fulfils the requirements as the 6.5 is only a minor release not a major.

Good question - I've asked a couple of folks internally.

This fulfills the VCIX6.5 requirements, per Karl Childs. It won't reflect until they have released a 6.5 Deploy, or if the vendor that manages the badges adjusts the logic to show it.

There is no ETA on either of those items.

Thanks,

Mark

We just released a blog post this morning to clarify this

Hi Expert

I have VCAP-DCA5.5 certification and VCP6.0 DCV.

If I do VCAP-DCV 6.5 design , can I get VCIX-DCV batch.

Regards

Rajeev

I don't think you meet the requirements for VCAP6.5-DCV Design, based on your current certifications - check the various paths here: VMware Certified Advanced Professional 6.5 - Data Center Virtualization Design

You could do the VCAP6-DCV Design - check those paths here: VCAP6-DCV Design Certification

If you achieved VCAP6-DCV Design, that would give you VCIX6-DCV, based on the logic in this article: Changes to the VCIX Badge: Simplifying the Ways to Earn - VMware Professional Services and Education...

Do we have any book or official book for 3V0-624 - VMware Certified Advanced Professional 6.5?
