As a VMware VCI, one of the main concerns for delegates is
the process of attaining their VMware Certified Professional in Datacentre
Virtualisation or VCP6.5-DCV certification.
In the past the process was extremely straight forward, sit
a qualifying course and then book and sit and then hopefully pass the exam.
This process changed, VMware decided that the VMware product
was now so feature rich that one exam just would not cut it.
Any new candidate for the VCP6.5-DCV now has to sit two
exams, the process to attain the VCP6.5-DCV
is now as follows.
As always the first requirement is to sit a qualifying
course, and yes the company I work for do provide a number of ways to attend
these courses, whether that be classroom based, or using our Attend rom
Anywhere (AFA) format, this gives any candidate for the VCP6.5-DCV a flexible
approach to attending one of the following courses.
Once the course has been sat and the candidate has built up
the skills and confidence to sit the exams, the next step is to register for
the two exams required. These exams are provided via Pearson VUE
The foundations exam consists of 70 questions over a 105
minute period, the exam consists of both single and multiple choice questions,
and is classified as a non-proctored exam, or in other words, this exam is
delivered to the candidate via their own web browser. As for preparing for this
exam it is always recommended that the candidate should check the exam blue
print which is available at VMware’s
Certification website. The passing score for this exam is 300 out of a
possible 500.
The foundations exam relates not only to the VCP-DCV, but
also is a requirement for the following VMware certifications. Pass it once and
then only the core exams need to be sat for the following certifications.
VCP6-CMA, VCP6-NV, VCP6-DTM, and the VCP7-DTM
Once the vSphere 6.5 foundations exam has been sat and
passed, the candidate now has the challenging task of passing the second exam,
and for the VCP6.5-DCV certification the exam is the VMware Certified Professional 6.5 – Data
Center Virtualization exam.
Exam number 2V0-622
The core exam consists of 70 questions over a 105 minute
period, the exam consists of both single and multiple choice questions, and is
classified as a proctored exam, or in other words this exam is delivered by an
authorised Pearson Vue testing centre. As with the foundation exam, VMware
always recommend that any candidate should check the exam blueprint, as with
the foundations exam the blueprint can be obtained via VMware’s
Certification website. Also as with the foundations exam, the passing score
for this exam is 300 out of a possible 500.

Last thing to say is, play with the product, do the reading,
do the revision and good luck with both exams, as always our team is happy to
