Plain Virtualization

Recently VMware announced some of the new exams and naming for 2019 here . These exams have also gone live here . There is also some confusion since some of us have taken for example VCP DCV 6.5 which is now be awarded VCP DCV 2019 if you have taken it this year. For those who have earned the VCP DCV based on 6.5 last year, 2018, you will be granted VCP DCV 6.5. However, moving forward this year, for VCP DCV either based on 6.5 or 6.7, you will be granted VCP DCV 2019 on passing.

Since the release of vSphere 6.7, the VMware certification has yet to be updated and the last VCP DCV was based on 6.5. Today VCP DCV 2019 based on 6.7 is live and available for booking. Do note that there are two available VCP DCV, one based on 6.5 and one on 6.7. whichever you take, on passing you will be granted VCP DCV 2019. This is so to help easily identify when was the last time you took that exam and a reminder to renew it before 2 years expiry. For those taking the VCP DCV 2019 based on 6.7, do check out the exam guide . Credits go to the awesome team that I have worked with in Nov 2018 to have this exam coming out live. Good Luck!
