Hi Everyone,
I wanted to provide some clarification on the recent VCAP exam retirements that we announced this week.
1. The most popular tracks are not impacted:
- The VCAP5-DCD v5.5 (Data Center Design), the VCAP5-DCA v5.5 (Data Center Administration) and VCIX-NV exams are not being retired and remain available.
- These three exams are the most popular and are aligned to the current competencies (not outdated).
2. New/updated exams are coming soon:
- New versions of the vSphere v6 exams are in development now for release later this year, and will be updated for the latest market needs.
- We want to focus our development efforts on building the new exams, updated with the latest skills, competencies.
- They will be packaged up in the new VCIX credentials that were announced in early February.
- Anyone scheduled to take one of the retired exams prior to March 14th will be able to take it.
I hope that this provides some additional clarification. I want to make sure that you know that not all of the exams were retired. Thank you!
