VMware ID Card

[mfrycz]

Hi,

Just as a loud thought (not sure if anyone ask this before as I couldn't found this searching the forum) but what about plastic version of your qualification?

I mean when you get your nr on VCP exam it stays with you (isn't it?) so why not provide plastic card similar to "credit card"... but with your picture and all fancy graphics from VMware and your precious # so you can show at any occasion...

What do you think and why haven't this been implemented so far... Maybe there is something to hold back this idea which I am not aware of...

Please feel free to comment as you feel is appropriate, but i would like to get here an definite Yes/No backed by facts from VMware guys if possible

As always curious,

M.F.

Hi Scott,

Email is flying to John's mail box just now

Cant wait for the feedback...

[mfrycz]

Scott that was a good call

Just got an answer from Jon Hall and he will escalate this idea higher

I just couldnt imagine how happy i will be when this will go through and be accepted  

I will keep posting updates if anything new comes to my attention.

Anyone heard any new updates on this?

Would be cool to have vcp4 and vcp5 on an official wallet card

I haven't hear from John since this idea has been rised.

But yes it still looks (at last to me) as a great way to appreciate all people that put effort and time to get certified...

PS. How many guys are wearing VCAP "hat's" ? and how many would carry plastic ID card...

My Girlfriend wears my hat, it's too small for my head and seems a little too nerdy.  I'm waiting for some vNerd to approach her in the grocery store about it.  I doubt I would carry the VCP card either.

I do have a I ❤️ VMware sticker on my track car, that normally starts up some conversations.

Yeah my two vCAPs went to Goodwill and I long since lost/accidentally threw away all the Cisco wallet cards I once had.

I love that VCP comes with a Workstation license, my ideal would be for the more advanced certs to come with a credit towards a VMTN subscription (assuming there's one to be had) or logo merchandise for those that want it, even if it's only $25.

That is a really good point and not sure if it is such a "BIG" problem to releasi it separately (VMTN) not include it ie with http://www.myvmug.org/ subscriptions (i believe myvmug is already strong enough to coupe with this)
