I'm a big fan of the Veeam study guides. I previously used the one for the
Microsoft 74-409 Exam.
I recently found out they have exams for the
VCP5 as well as the
VCAP-DCA.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
Veeam® is happy to provide the VMware community with new, unofficial study guides prepared by VMware certified professionals Jason Langer and Josh Coen.
