VMware has just announced good news for many VCP’s and procrastinators alike by extending the VMware VCP550D Delta Exam from March 10, 2015 to May 8, 2015!
It seems VMware had some issues with the myLean system over this last weekend as well as some partners of VMware expressed concern that the initial deadline (Nov 30, 2014) and first extension (March 10, 2015) was not enough notice and asked for another extension so they (the partners) could schedule time to have their VCP’s re-certified.
If you haven’t taken the VCP550D exam yet, I’m compiled a list of topics to study in my VMware delta exam passed post.

Yesterday VMware announced vSphere 6 and today VMware has announced the new certification roadmap and to no surprise the new VCP6 DCV exam has been announced. One certification that’s missing is the VCAP (VMware Certified Advanced Professional), replacing the VCAP is the VCIX (VMware Certified Implementation Expert).
Long ago VMware offered a program called VMware Technology Network (VMTN) which was very similar to Microsoft’s TechNet, which allowed you to download and run various VMware software within your home lab for a small yearly fee. Just like the Microsoft TechNet, the VMware VMTN program was eventually closed. From the time the VMTN program closed many people have begged and pleaded with VMware to bring the program back, there is even a long forum thread asking VMware to bring VMTN back. Though it never did… until now.
Over the weekend I decided to go ahead and take the VMware Delta VCP550D Exam since my VCP5 was set to expire in March of 2015 due to VMware’s new recertification policy. Even managed to pass it with a fairly decent score of 460 (300 is the minimum to pass). Below I’ll share some of my notes prior and after the exam.
All current VMware Certified Professionals can save 25% on exams taken before January 1st, 2015 on the following VCP exams:
VMware Certified Professional 5 – Data Center Virtualization
VMware Certified Professional 5 – Desktop
VMware Certified Professional – Cloud
VMware Certified Professional – Network Virtualization
