VMware Certification Exam Price Increase
If you have been following the exam news that has been release, starting from 1st April, the price of the exams for all level starting from Foundation, Associate, Professional, Advanced Professional and Expert have all increased. You can read up the official post here.
I will skip the Foundation and Associate exam since these are just entry level exams.
Looking at Professional (VCP), Advanced Professional (VCAP) and Expert (VCDX), each has increased from $225 to $250, $400 to $450 and $300 + $900 to $995 + $3,000 respectively. If you look at it its a gradually increase in tier except for the Expert level which one would think twice attempting with an increase over 130%. With this increased, this exam will be a company sponsored exam moving forward and not meant for one to self sponsor himself at close to $5,000. Though these prices are affecting the developed countries.
Not sure why the move but it seems like VMware it controlling the number of people attaining VCDX and keeping that title exclusive for now. The attempt of these exams will definitely decrease drastically especially for VCDX.
If you are keen to pursue any of the exams above, do sign up fast before 1st Apr by voucher or registeration of interest before the hefty price adds on you.
