Perfect timing for us, my task for the next two weeks it to get our dev lab rebuilt. I'm also pushing hard to get in the first round of upgrade classes in RTP this summer and stay ahead of the curve before my training $$$ are cut even more.

Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)

Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands...

    Nice! Hopefully that exam goes live soon. There's only around six months to upgrade before another course is required...

    If you're already a VCP, then you would have to take another course if you don't upgrade before 12/31, but you only would have to take the "What's New" class which is two days, $1500.

    * Attend the VMware vSphere™ 4: Install, Configure, Manage course (first courses available in late June 2009) OR attend the VMware vSphere 4: Fast Track (available in Q3)
    * Take and pass the VCP on vSphere™ 4 exam

    # If you are currently a VCP on VMware Infrastructure 3

    * Take and pass the VCP on vSphere™ 4 exam. This option will only be available until December 31, 2009. Beginning in 2010, VCPs on VI3 must attend the VMware vSphere 4: What’s New class in order to upgrade.

    Be aware you must be a VCP in VI3. Previous version VCP's aren't eligible for this.
    Good luck to all!

    Previous version VCP's need to get with the program!

    I've also seen murmurings that they're going to be rolling out a new cert that's in between the VCP and VCDX in difficulty and requirements.

    Yeah Jon Hall has confirmed they are working on a sort of "Master VCP" cert.

    I think it should be VCPP - VMware Certified Professional Professional...

    Nah, I think they should stick with VCP for that one as well. VCP Certified Professional. Recursive acronyms FTW!
