Click here for see all the paths to acquire VCP 2024 certification
If you have attended VMware training course before but not yet acquired VCP, and your target VCP got retired and/or would like to receive the newer version of VCP, you basically have to attend another required course for the newer version of VCP since the version of the course is too old to be used as an requirement.
But, for some older version course, there is little shortcut available to acquire newer version of VCP by attending What’s New course instead.
First off, if you have attended the following courses before but not yet VCP certified, you’re the target audience.
- vSphere v6.7
If you have attended other courses, you have to go through the path for VCP certification for the first time.
The guidelines here are:
- A candidate who have attended the older version course but did not get VCP certified can possibly attend What’s New course instead of other 5-day required course to be certified.
-
