Unless you're Cisco certified, no.

Certain CCNA, CCNP, and CCIE certifications qualify for VCP6-NV (on NSX).

Everyone else, and for all other VCPs - there is a hard training requirement.

The only "cheap" option is to take the training with an academic institution that is authorised, such as Stanly CC - they're based in the US, but run classes online.

If you have class ID then you can purchase voucher from VMware or VMware marketplace.

It costs $250. You have to register on PearsonVue and schedule your exam. Prepare from exams blueprints.

But he/she won't have any such thing if they've not taken the training.

There's no point in buying a voucher or taking an exam if doing so would count for nothing.

Hi Scott,

You mentioned that Cisco Ceritifcation qualifies as Prerequisit for VCP6-DCV and can switch places with the training course as requiremments, can you please specify what Cisco Certifications and which field (Security, Datacenter, Routing & Switching...)

No, I said that certain Cisco certifications were connected with VCP6-NV, not VCP6-DCV.

Check path 2 on this page: VCP6-NV Certification

Once someone is a current VCP6-NV, they can also achieve VCP6-DCV if they pass the relevant exam, that's path 2 on this page: VCP6-DCV Certification
