It validates one’s knowledge and skills to complete the tasks within a virtualized infrastructure. The certification of this level is available across data center virtualization (VCTA-DCV), cloud management and automation (VCTA-CMA), security (VCTA-SEC), network virtualization (VCTA-NV), end-user computing (VCTA-EUC), application modernization (VCTA-AM) tracks. To add more, the earned accreditation doesn’t serve as a prerequisite towards the professional level certification.
• Professional (VCP) level is designed for experienced professionals who set up, configure, operate, and optimize VMware solutions. This level is aimed at administrators and engineers. As for the certifications offered, they are the following ones: VCP-DCV, VCP-CMA, VCP-SEC, VCP-NV. End-User Computing (EUC) and application modernization tracks propose 2 certifications at this level. The EUC track comprises VCP-DTM (to check your in-depth skills to work in the VMware Horizon environments) and VCP-DW (to prove your proficiency in dealing with VMware Workspace ONE and other related solutions). The following 2 designations such as VCP-AM (verifies your skills in working with VMware Tanzu Standard Edition) and VCP-Spring (testifies your understanding of the core aspects of Spring & Spring Boot) are offered on the AM track.
