How to become a VMware Certified Professional
Becoming a VMware Certified Professional is a straightforward, three-step process:- Participate in a VMware authorized course that is instructor-led to learn best practices and gain hands-on experience. The accepted courses are: "Install and Configure"; "Deploy, Secure and Analyze"; and "Fast Track". If you are a current VCP, there are no course prerequisites.
- Gain hands-on experience with VMware. Individuals who do not have the hands on experience find it very difficult to pass the exam.
- Enroll and pass the certification exam. To register to take the VMware Certified Professional examination please contact Pearson VUE, a third-party testing center at www.pearsonvue.com/vmware
