Do I qualify to appear for the VCP exam.

[rajesharihant]

Dear Experts, 

as you can see below I took the vsphere v6 training few years ago. 

do you think this - may help me to take the VCP exam directly and get the certificate. 

as one of the criteria is to get trained and then to appear for the exam. - do I fullfill this criteria? 

appreciate your help.

According to the online Required Attended Courses it must be version 7.

Maybe you could plead your case with someone in education, but a version 6

doesn't quality by default.

Hi,

You can check the certification track on the VMware Certification website:

VMware Certified Professional - Data Center Virtualization 2021 (VCP-DCV 2021)

But there is mainly one recommendation:

1. Gain experience with vSphere 7
2. Attend a training course (several courses to choose, one course is a requirement)
3. Pass the VCP exam

Depending on the VCP certification you already have, step 2 and 3 can differ.

do you think I can write to someone in vmware education service - who can help me appear for VCP exam based on this training. appreciate your help.

Because you sat your course more than a year ago you'll have to sit another course from VMware Education.  I recommend the on-demand version of the vSphere What's New class.  It will help you to get skilled up on vSphere 7.  Let me restate: no matter what you do, you will have to take another class.

From there you'll be able to sit for the VCP-DCV 2021 exam.

Good luck,

Joe
