VMware Certified Associate (VCA) exams now available

2013-09-20 by Rasmus Haslund 18 Comments

50% exam discount code/voucher: VMRT9B503121

 

Check out my VMware VCA exam experience post.

Recently VMware announced the a new certification track: VMware Certified Associate (VCA).

VMware VCA

This new track has 3 paths: (and as of 2013-10-23 one not available yet)

VMware Certified Associate – Datacenter Virtualization (VCA-DCV)
– FREE video training
– Exam blueprint
– Register for exam

 

VMware Certified Associate – Cloud (VCA-Cloud)
– FREE video training
– Exam blueprint
– Register for exam

 

VMware Certified Associate – Workforce Mobility (VCA-WM)
– FREE video training
– Exam blueprint
– Register for exam

 

VMware Certified Associate – Network Virtualization (VCA-NV)
– Sign up to be notified when it is available

 

To help ensure you pass the exam VMware has decided to provide FREE selfpaced e-learning.

To access the free training simple use the links above.

 

VMware also has a e-mailing list setup to provide you the latest news in certification and training here.

 

As an introduction offer VMware is giving you 50% discount on the exam and here are some quick screenshots of the registration process:

Step 1: Register on the VMware websites above

Step 2: Recieve confirmation e-mail from VMware that you are approved. Open the link in the e-mail

Step 3: After signing in you can see the exam pre-approved and you just need to pay

Exam_03

Step 4: After paying the exam fee you are ready to start answering those questions like a pro 🙂

You will have 90 minutes to complete the exam plus 30 minutes if your native language is not english.

The exam contains 50 questions.

 

I have already seen others give negative feedback on VCA exams, telling people they feel the price is too high and not providing any value.

I do not agree on this and here are a few reasons:

  • You will recieve invitations to beta exams and classes
  • Where else can you buy your way into BETA EXAMS?
  • Discounted admission to VMware events
  • This might even pay the price of the exam back in one go!
  • You are already in the certification loop
  • This makes it easier to negotiate your boss into advancing to VCP
  • Plus everyone has to start somewhere.

Obviously VMware is interested in getting fresh blod into the loop.

The way I see it the more people we get to VCA certification, the more people we can get to VCP level and again this means more people on VCAP level.

In the end everyone benefits!

 

See my VMware VCA exam experience post for a 50% discount exam voucher.

 

Let me know in the comments what you think and if you expect to take the exams.

I know I will take all 3 as soon as I have a chance!
