Looking to get into Virtualization

Edificer

Good day, all

For some time now, I've been on the Cisco path. Some of the newer technologies, or hardware version that are aligned with my current duties are only available virtual. For that reason, I decided to jump into Virtualization, starting with the VMware Certified Associate 6 – Data Center Virtualization (VCA6-DCV).


With 4 hrs of studying on workdays and 6+ hrs on weekends, how long would it take to be able to try and pass the exam?

Is this the current OCG?

Thanks, all. Excited to expand my knowledge further!

I took the VCA-DCV (5) in Feb or March 2015. The course for it is free on the VMware site to enroll and take. It took literally 1 day to study and pass the exam. I suggest reviewing each important concept and taking notes of it and review the notes.

The VCA6-DCV exam has a free course online. Video + interactive quizzes, etc. I'm gonna guess that it will be fairly easy to pass just by doing the interactive video and quizzes. Just make sure you know everything they talk about on the video. For reference I passed the VCA-Cloud and DCV with a score of 330. VCA-DCV took about 5-8 hours study and review. VCA-Cloud took about 10+ hours study and review.
