VCP5 Recertification Help Please...

[virtualinstall]

Hi all,

I'm looking to recertify my VCP5-DCV and have only just got round to looking at this.  I've got 'til Dec 2015 but have time to work on this now.  I requested and received authorization for the VCP6 Delta but think I've left this to late from what I'm reading?  PearsonVue site keep crashing out on me so can't confirm!  I liked the option of renewing this on the cheap with the Delta exam.

Requested and received authorization for the VCP550 Delta exam but know much about this, it's a online open book exam?  What's the cost of this?  Again PearsonVue site is being a nightmare so can't actually view scheduling options and costs.

Thanks

Dan

The VCP6-DCV delta exam (2V0-621D) was in beta, but I believe the beta period has just ended - the final delta exam should be launched in July/August I expect.

You'll still be "renewing on the cheap" with the final delta exam - no course needed, just a single exam, and you'll gain VCP6-DCV as well as recertifying your VCP5-DCV.

If you do want to recertify now, you can do that with VCP550D, or you could take a VCP in a different technology area, or push yourself to VCAP level.

VCP550D is taken online from any location.

Thanks Scott for the reply, I think for now I'll prep for the VCP550D then.  Do you know how long this will be available for?

Path 4 on the VCP5-DCV page I linked to would have taken you here: Delta Exam - New VCP-DCV Exam

September 30th 2015 is the end date for VCP550D.
