VMware Certified Specialist - vSphere with Tanzu 2023 - Required Training Courses Question

[dmathis]

I'm taking the exam for the VMware Certified Specialist - vSphere with Tanzu 2023.

I hold a VCP-DCV and have passed the VMware vSphere with Tanzu: Deploy and Manage [V7] - On Demand

However step 1 states "Attend one of the required training courses". Does this mean I must take the course in the list that has (Required) next to it, or will the VMware vSphere with Tanzu: Deploy and Manage [V7] - On Demand meet the certificate requirements? 

See the certificate details here: https://www.vmware.com/learning/certification/vsphere-w-tanzu-specialist.html

For example I see this verbiage on the certificate details page, which is confusing:

STEP 1 : Attend one of the required training courses

VMware vSphere with Tanzu: Deploy and Manage [V7] (Required)

VMware vSphere with Tanzu: Deploy and Manage [V7] - On Demand

VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid: Install, Configure, Manage [V1.3]

VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid: Install, Configure, Manage [V1.3]  - On Demand

VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid: Install, Configure, Manage [V1.5]

[VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid: Install, Configure, Manage [V1.5] - On Demand

You only have to complete ONE of the courses in the list.

The fact it says (Required) after the top course in the list is confusing.

Thank you. I will certainly forward this information to the certification team. This will ensure that the issue is addressed and corrected, thereby preventing any confusion for future users.

I will get the team to make the correction to remove 'required' from the first training in the list

Ok, thanks.
