VMware has released two new certs: VMware Education Services

VCAP = VMware Certified Advanced Professional
  • Datacenter Administrator
  • Datacenter Design
You must get your VCP prior to VCAP.

Anyone going to do this?

    I would love to do this one day; however getting my company to put their hands in their pockets and pay for the VCP course is looking bad enough ;)

    I'm planning to take both by the end of September (they come out in July or August I believe). Less stressful then going for the VCDX!

    I'll probably take the Design one since I need to take the Design workshop anyway to fulfill partner requirements for my company.

    Yeah let me pull the first 3k out of my butt for VCP and then another few grand for this.

    I need to email them and whine about prices. :D

    No required training for these, only recommended ;)

    My job responsibilities are shifting so I will unfortunately not be able to do this now. Drat.
    IT guy since 12/00

    Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)
    Working on: RHCE/Ansible
    Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands...
