Congrats on the pass. Well once you get your number then you will know the amount of people who also have it. Last I heard it was around 600

Congrats.

I think that there are more than 600 DCAs.

You will see with your ID when you get also the transcript.

Basically I used some of the study guide from these two websites (very good guides)

Also you just got to practice and practice. I was running lab at home and was using my work's development area to help with my studies.

As someone who has recently passed them both, DCD numbers are currently around 550, and DCAs are around 730 - as of earlier this week 😉

Thanks all. I am suprised the number is so low, is it because people don't see the value of this cert?

I think a fair amount of people don't see the value in the cert if they don't work for a VMware partner or a someone who knows the difference between the VCP and the VCAP. Also a fair amount of people are looking to rather do the VCAP5 certs so have held off doing the VCAP4 ones (what i've personally done)

To determine the price for the exam, go to www.pearsonvue.com/vmware and schedule the exam at your preferred location.  After choosing your location the applicable currency and price will appear.
