VCP6.5-DCV path from VCP6.5-NV

[_c26]

Hi,

I've done some research on the topic but sadly I've not been able to find a definitive answer.

If I take the VCP6.5-NV exam whilst using my existing Cisco certification am I then eligible to take the VCP6.5-DCV exam without having to take the mandatory weekly course?

At this point the course is a blocker for me.

Thanks,

C

It depends on which Cisco certification you have, but yes.

You'd need to take a total of 3 exams - vSphere Foundations, the NV exam, then a DCV exam.

To confirm:

1. Choose the "Cisco certification" path here: VMware Certified Professional 6 – Network Virtualization (VCP6-NV)

2. Choose the "active VCP6 or 6.5 or 7 in a different track" path here: VMware Certified Professional 6.5 - Data Center Virtualization (VCP6.5-DCV)

I currently hold a CCNA I've not finished my CCNP as of yet but a CCNA cert appears to be the minimum required.

It looks like my theoretic path will be ok, thank you for your help.

Thanks,
