Hello Friends,
Currently I'm working on Vmware vSphere 5.5. Now I have planned get VCA-DCV certificate.
Now I'm totally unable to take decision about VCA-DCV or VCA6-DCV. Please suggest me.
Thanx in advance
Raju Gupta
VCAs are somewhat technology-based, but a lot around concepts rather than technical details - so you should be able to do either.
VMware don't quote a "months/years of experience" for VCAs, any hands-on you've already had should help you.
I'd go for VCA6-DCV just because it's new/current, but review the exam objectives for both.
VCA - Download the exam blueprint: (VCA-DCV) VCA-Data Center Virtualization
VCA6 - Review the exam topics: VCA6-DCV Exam
As I'm working on VMware vSphere 5.5, Should I go for VCA6 & VCP6 certification?
Or as per work experience about 5.5 I should go for VCA5 & VCP5?
Why are you wanting to get certified?
I want to learn about VMWare in more depth and better opportunity for career growth.
If you've already worked with vSphere I doubt the VCA would benefit you that much - have you looked through the exam objectives? The "Fundamentals" training talks about most of what you need to know, and it's only 3 hours long.
I would suggest moving to VCP level, the latest for vSphere being VCP6-DCV: VCP6-DCV Certification
So what you suggest for me VCP or VCP6, as I'm working on vSphere 5
Here are your current options - I wouldn't want to recommend which path you take as I don't know if the work you have already done or will do is aligned to the training or the exam objectives.
VCP5-DCV only:
Train on vSphere 5.x
Pass the VCP510 or VCP550 exam
VCP6-DCV only:
Train on vSphere 6.x
Pass the 2V0-620 and 2V0-621 exams
VCP5-DCV and VCP6-DCV:
Gain your VCP5-DCV as above
Pass the 2V0-621D exam
vSphere 5 training is already becoming less frequently offered, training providers shift fairly quickly to offering the latest version courses.
thank you very much..
Hi, I had this doubt, so I want to ber certified in VCP6-DCV, newer. (My main goal)
But, VCA-DCV is easier than VCA6-DCV, and I dont have any certification on vmware yet. I'll do VCA-DCV and after I study an take VCP6-DCV Certification!
this is my plan.
Hi friends, I am certified as VCA DCV / Cloud / Workforce Mobility I want to know how I can be certified as VCP or if I do the VCA6
Thank you
It's up to you - have you benefitted from your VCAs?
Most people would push towards a VCP level certification, but there is a training requirement you would have to meet in order to do that.
You can review the requirements for each individual VCA6 or VCP6 starting here: VMware Certification
