vmware vSphere 4.0 certification (not 4.1)

[santosh42]

Hi,

I have taken the classroom course for vmware vSphere 4 (Install, configure and manage) - ESX 4.0, ESX 4.0i, vCenter server 4.0 in 2010

Now, i am planning to take the certification exam  - VCP4

However on the vmware mylearn site, under certification, i could not find certification info for vSphere 4.0. I can only see vSphere 4.1

Please can some one help me to know if vSphere 4.0 certification is retired?

Do i need to again take a classroom course ?

can i not write the vSphere 4.0 certification exam ?

Thanks.

I think your only option is to take the VCP410 not 400. 4.1 considered the latest version, so take 4.1  worth than taking VCP400.

Don't worry, there is no different certification for 4.0 or 4.1. It's the same.

from http://mylearn.vmware.com/mgrReg/plan.cfm?plan=12457&ui=www_cert

The 4-day version of this course VMware vSphere: Install Configure, Manage [V4] taken before December 31, 2010 still meets requirements.

Jon Hall explained this in different posts, e.g. http://communities.vmware.com/message/1681431

The VCP4 certification (VCP410 exam code) is a generic 4.x certification.

Same was for VCP3 (the exam code was the same for 3.0 and 3.5).
