2V0-21.19 (VCP 6.7 exam) retiring end of the year?

[TimSheppard]

Not seen an official announcement on the VMware Education blog yet but when looking at the certification track for those people who are studying for their VCP-DCV and have taken a 6.7 version of a qualifying course already, VMware are stating that the 2V0-21.19 exam will be retiring on 31st December 2020.

After this date, students will need to attend a 7.0 version of one of the qualifying courses in order to meet the requirements for VCP-DCV.

Can you confirm scott28tt​ ?

Remember that all VCPs are linked to the year in which requirements are completed, so the current DCV VCP is VCP-DCV 2020.

VMware Certified Professional - Data Center Virtualization 2020 (VCP-DCV 2020)

At this moment you can complete a 6.7 or 7.0 course, there are Professional exams for 6.7 and 7.0, but only a Foundations exam for 6.7 as that concept of having a Foundations exam is not carried through for 7.0.

Retirements are published here: https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/certification/vmw-retired-certific...

I think it is a reasonable assumption that VCP-DCV 2021 will be focused on 7.0, it will only get harder to find an official 6.7 course.
