If you are going for a VCP for the first time, you basically have to first attend a Required Course, take vSphere Foundations Exam, and VCP Elective Exams at last. Below is the overall image of the steps.

 

Steps to acquire a VCP for the first time:

  1. Attend a required course
  2. Take VCP Elective Exam

    • Exam can be the existing exam already available or possibly be a new exam going to be released this year.
