DCD Numbers

Hey folks

Anyone passed the DCD and got their DCD number recently ? Just curious as to what the numbers are these days.

Thanks

I will go try VCAP5-DCA on 06/17/2013.

I passed my VCAP4-DCD (when still in Beta exam) and get the certification number: VCAPDCD-8.

When I passed the VCAP5-DCD exam on March 2012., VMware give me the same certification number: VCAPDCD-8.

Now, according to VMware, they streamline the certification exam registration process, and provide us a single consolidated view of our training and certification histories, they have updated the candidate tracking systems.  Now, my candidate ID become VMW-00087451L-00017218,  according to VMware they will start using the new candidate ID to replace existing VCP ID & VCAP number. 

VMware still keep my VCP ID (or certification number) 17218 in the new candidate ID (the last few digits 00017218), but not sure about the VCAPDCD number; just wonder whether the VCAP is the middle number "00087451L", then what does 7451L stand for?    :smileyconfused:

Most importantly, we get certified and able to demonstrate our skills & knowledge; the certification ID is just a reference ID.

No, no more tracking of any number other than VCP candidate number - which is assigned when you first sign up for an exam (you don't have to pass an exam to get one).

Note that the transcript will list the date of completion, which is more accurate/important that a semi-arbitrary number

Note that the VCDX program will still track their numbers.

With lates VCAP (CIA, CID and DTD) was already so.

Now with the "universal" ID there is no way to track each certification. But could be nice is VMware will provide some numbers (just for stats).

Interesting the VCDX will keep using a progressive number (but in my transcript I've lost it). Probably only on the printed cert.
