VCP6-DCV Requirments Clarification

[Francesco_F]

Hi All,

I'm actually a VCP6-NV and I want to go to VCP6-DCV, If I pass the exam 2V0-621 I will earn the VCP6-DCV without attending any course ?

In the VCP6-DCV certification page in "Existing Candidate Requirments" tab, Path 2 reports "If you hold a VCP5 certification for any solution track that has not expired"

In the VCP6.5-DCV certification page in "Existing Candidate Requirments" tab, Path 2 reports "If you hold a VCP6 certification for any solution track that has not expired"

I don't have any VCP5 cert, so if I don't want to attend any course I'm forced to choose the 6.5 version ?

Thanks a lot for your help.

I believe you're fine with your plan to achieve VCP6-DCV.

You are a current VCP (VCP6-NV is the latest for NV, and yours has not expired), so you can achieve a VCP in any other track by passing only the VCP exam for that track (as opposed to a delta exam or having to also passing the foundations exam).

The recertification policy states that current VCPs can recertify by earning a new VCP in a different track.

If you want to be absolutely certain, email certification@vmware.com

Hi Francesco,

Did you manage to send email to "certifications@vmware.com" and confirm this path ? I am also planning to take VCP6-DCV after VCP6-NV and not attend the training.

Waiting for your reply,

Hi Arsalan,

actually I did sent an email to certification@vmware.com and they confirmed to me that going from VCP6-NV to VCP6-DCV does not require any course, just pass the exam.

Hope this help.
