Hi itsuperhero,

Unfortunately, I am in the exactly same situation as you are.

I had passed the VCP-DCV 2020 in October 2020 and VCAP Design 2020 in December 2020, so I could refresh my VCIX and fulfilled all requisites for VCDX-2020.

All possible requirements and paths are visible in the certification managers certification catalog.

From my point of view the VCIX 2020 is sufficient for path 1. We do not need to pass any exam or do a new course.

Hope that helps.

Nevertheless, a second opinion, to confirm this, would be nice.

Stay healthy and save.
