VCP6 foundation exam will be available online

I'm a bit curious after reading the VMware Certification Roadmap for 2015 especially the part which is mentioning the online VCP 6 certification. It states: An online Foundation exam that covers the basics of virtualization and combines with elective exam to validate skills in a specific solution track.

Some of you already used the online format to upgrade from 5.0 to 5.5. This delta exam will be available until March 10, but I never expected the regular VCP exam to go online in the future too.

So to become VCP we need the following certification requirements: Qualifying course + Foundation exam + Solution track exam

I don't know if the Solution track exam will be online too. More classes, including advanced courses, will be offered that meet the ‘qualifying course’ required for certification.

VCAP is dead long live VCAP

The new VMware Certified Implementation Expert (VCIX) level focuses on multi-faceted implementation roles and includes both advanced Administration and Design skills. VCIX replaces the current VMware Certified Advanced Professional (VCAP) level and provides more thorough validation of a candidate’s skills and knowledge. Additional changes include:

VCIX certification is comprised of two separate exams – one focused on Administration and one focused on Design
The VCIX Design exam will be available at more PearsonVue testing locations
VCIX Design exams have been shortened from 4 to 2 hours. The decreased time does not reflect ease of the exam, but is the result of the exam focusing on new topics only and does not include those covered by prior exams
Elite status for candidates who complete multiple VCIX certifications
