VCP 3/4/5 Expires 10 March Queries.

[baljitbasra]

Hi,

All my VCP's are due to expire 10th March and I want to take the 550 Delta exam this Sunday and wondering if that's possible as you don't visit a test centre?

I have requested my Delta Authorisation 6th Jan so hopefully that is still valid.

Yes, the VCP550D is online and certainly runs on Sunday.  You can start the exam immediately after scheduling and paying - in fact it expires in a couple days if you don't start it.

Note tho if you don't pass there is a 7-day wait.  Which means you'd need to schedule (and pass) a different VCP-exam in 2 days if you fail on Sunday.

Many thanks.

Completely understand I have one try.  Just wish i had more time to prepare. :-(.

Should i fail the exam, I shall wait for the new vSphere 6 courses and certifications and redo it all.

Wish me luck.

I know there are many who have waited til close to the March 10th date - I was one of them!

I passed the delta exam last Friday, I knew I would have time for a re-take by doing that, in case one was needed...

Best of luck 🙂
