Yep I've already read all the official documentation. I found it lacking in the specifics i was asking about, so I came here. The diagrams imply that you need to update your cert to 6.0 before taking the VCAP exam, but they do not explicitly state it. That's why I came here for clarification. So to be clear the question is a simple yes or no: If I have an active VCP 5.5 DCV, register for and pass the VCAP 6 DCV Deploy 6, would I then be granted the VCAP cert? I of course would like to avoid having to spend two hundred some bucks on a test if its not absolutely necessary, but that may be the business model here to generate revue. The FAQ doesn't have a section for "I have a VCP5, do I need to upgrade it to VCP 6 prior to taking the exam". The new candidates section only lists paths if you have a current VCP6 in DCV and a path for if you hold a VCP6 in other areas. I take the implication there that I have to upgrade my VPC to 6. I'm just asking for confirmation of that ...inconvenient requirement. So can anyone confirm that upgrading your VCP to 6 is a explicit and hard requirement to be granted the VCAP 6 cert upon passing the exam?
