Has VCP-510 deadline extended ?

[VSource]

Hello,

By any chance, has vmware extended the deadline for VCP-510 to upgrade from VCP4.0 ? How to validate that the exam is not available ?

Thanks,

There was not a special update exam - it was the standard VCP 510 exam - haveing missed the 2/29/12 deadline you will now need to take at  least the What's New Class and pass the VCP 510 to become a VCP

No it has not, look here: http://www.vmware.com/go/vcp

VCP4 holders now have to attend at least the 2-day vSphere 5: What's New official training to qualify for VCP5 certification, and pass the VCP510 exam of course.

No, they have not.  this is the first time that VMware have actaully give a 6month period to upgrade.  previously it was approx 3 months and then extended, but this time it was 6 months from the start.

Unfortunately if you did not sit and pass the exam before the 29th Feb you will not have to sit the 2 day what's new course.

I hope vmware can extended the deadline once...

Sorry but I would not hold your breath, as already stated VMware gave a 6 month grace period this time that is longer than they have on any previous upgrade.

That's incredibly unlikely to happen now - the only previous extensions were on a 3-month deadline where people could not get booked into testing centres to take the new exam - and the deadline was extended before the original deadline had passed.
