VMware Certified Advanced Professional

VMware have always attempted to try and bring a new level of skill and qualification to the market with their products, and very recently, VMware created two new qualifications as part of the VMware Certified Advanced Professional (VCAP) path. The qualifications were designed to show further and advanced understanding, beyond the standard VMware Certified Professional (VCP), and it was split into two categories, the Datacentre Administration (VCAP-DCA) and Datacentre Design (VCAP-DCD). Authorisation is required to enter into these qualifications, and a short pre-qualification survey is required to be completed, and accepted by VMware before you can continue. You are then invited to take on the challenge!
