Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • Why get VMware certified?

    VMware certifications validate your skills and expertise in virtualization and cloud technologies, making you a valuable asset in the IT industry.

    These certifications demonstrate your ability to design, deploy, and manage complex VMware environments, enhancing your career prospects and earning potential.

    VMware-certified professionals are highly sought after by employers worldwide, as they possess the knowledge and skills to drive digital transformation and optimize IT infrastructure.

  • What to expect for the examination?

    VMware offers a variety of certification exams at different levels (VCTA, VCP, VCAP, VCDX) and across various technology tracks (Data Center Virtualization, Network Virtualization, Cloud Management and Automation, etc.).

    Exams typically consist of multiple-choice and scenario-based questions that assess your knowledge and ability to apply it in real-world situations.

    Note: Certification requirements and policies may be updated by VMware from time to time. We apologize for any discrepancies; do get in touch with us if you have any questions.

  • How long is VMware certification valid for?

    As of April 2019, VMware has removed the mandatory recertification requirement for VCP certifications.
