I attended VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage [V6.5] - is this a valid course for VCP 6.7?

Hi everyone,

I attended I attended VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage [6.5] is this valid training to take the latest VCP exams?

I see that VMWare 'recommended training' is all 6.7 and the 6.5  course is not mentioned..

If so, do you need to now take 2 exams? The foundation and the Professional?

Thanks in advance for your help Smiley Happy

If you have never done Vmware exams, you must first take the "Foundation" exam

Only vSphere 6.7 training meets the requirement for VCP-DCV 2020.

If you look at this page you'll see the 3 requirements (6.7 training and 2 x 6.7 exams)

As you completed a 6.5 class there is an option that allows you to take a shorter What's New class for 6.7 - you'll see that as path 1.1.5 on this page.

See my reply, there is a What's New (5.5 to 6.7) option for those who took a 6.5 class.

The answer of scott28tt  is more updated, there is a solution for those who took the 6.5 course. His answer is more correct.
