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 by Course Attendance, without taking an exam.
You can acquire the newer version of VCP by applicable course attendance, and this do not require to take an exam. You can upgrade from only one version prior of the latest VCP version. Below is the overall image.
So the guidelines here are:
- Only need to attend a required course to upgrade
- No Exam needs to be taken
- Capable of upgrading to the latest VCP version from only one version prior
- A course you’ve already attended before is NOT applicable for upgrade
