Completing vSphere 6 foundation exam(2V0-620) will provide any VCA certification?

[BhuvanITGuy]

Hello Everyone,

I am an IT system engineer in an organization, basically works on windows platforms. I am planning to get certified with VCP7-CMA(2V0-731). I've gone through all the prerequisites. In that they mentioned to complete vSphere 6 foundation exam(2V0-620) first and then we need to go to the VCP7(2V0-731) next. So my doubt is "Will I get any certification such as VCA for completing vSphere 6(2V0-620) foundation exam? "

Or shall I complete VCA-CMA (1V0-603) instead of vSphere 6 (2V0-620) which provides me VCA certification ????

Please suggest me my dear experts:smileyconfused::smileyconfused:

‌There is no connection whatsoever between the vSphere Foundations exam and any of the VCA certifications.

Foundations is a core exam for all the VCP6/VCP7 certifications.

I don't personally think VCA certifications have value, so would suggest you proceed with the Foundations exam followed by 2V0-731 - once you've passed both you'll be VCP7-CMA certified, so long as you've also met any training requirement for VCP7-CMA.

Thanks for your reply Scott.

I have be learning VCA-CMA followed by fundamental course in VM ware leaning zone. As you said VCA alone will not have any value so I am planning to take a course for vSphere 6 fundamentals first and later I will go for VCP7. But will I be certified by VM ware for passing a vSphere 6 fundamentals exam alone ?? I know it is a silly question but I want to clarify myself...

‌As per my previous reply, vSphere Foundations is a core exam for the various VCP certifications - so on it's own it counts for nothing.

Each VCP certification has it's own page which details the requirements, for example: VCP7-CMA Certification

That sounds like an issue with your account at PearsonVue. I would suggest you reach out to the support team at certification@vmware.com so that they can assist.
