Click here for VCAP / VCIX 2020 Certify and Upgrade Paths
If you already have VCP, and would like to acquire another VCP, you can use VCP Upgrade method.
On this post, I would like to show the VCP Upgrade from the different solution track.
You can take another VCP on the different solution track without taking another course or vSphere Foundations Exam. You can upgrade up to three version to directly acquire the latest version of VCP. Below is the overall image.
So the guidelines here are:
- Can skip course attendance and vSphere Foundations Exam.
- Up to Three-version upgrade is possible to acquire latest version VCP in the different solution track.
- Not capable of having Four or more version upgrade
- Need to pass the Elective VCP Exam to re-certify. Can NOT use Delta Exam.
- If the candidates only have VCP-DW and going for DCV, DTM, NV, or CMA, they also need to pass vSphere Foundations Exam
- An exam you’ve already taken and pass before is NOT applicable for upgrade.
Let me show an example on each solution track.
To upgrade to VCP-DCV 2020 from the different solution track, you can upgrade directly from DTM, CMA, and NV certifications inside the “Capable of Upgrade” box below, by passing VCP-DCV exam. You need to pass either the existing exam already available or possibly be a new exam going to be released this year. Please note that Delta Exam cannot be used to upgrade from the different solution track. If upgrading from DW solution track, it is required to also pass vSphere Foundations Exam.
To upgrade to VCP-DTM 2020 from the different solution track, you can upgrade directly from DCV, CMA, and NV certifications inside the “Capable of Upgrade” box below, by passing VCP-DTM exam. You need to pass either the existing exam already available or possibly be a new exam going to be released this year. If upgrading from DW solution track, it is required to also pass vSphere Foundations Exam.
To upgrade to VCP-CMA 2020 from the different solution track, you can upgrade directly from DCV, DTM, and NV certifications inside the “Capable of Upgrade” box below, by passing VCP-CMA exam.

If upgrading from DW solution track, it is required to also pass vSphere Foundations Exam.
