VCP on VI3

Something that comes up in conversation an awful lot is the current VCP exam, so here's a list of some important points about the exam that may help any potential takers:

• You get asked 75 questions
• You have 90 minutes to answer the questions
• You have to get a score of 70 or better to pass
• The questions are weighted, so some score more points than others
• You have to go to a Pearson Vue testing centre to take the exam (such as all the Global Knowledge UK training centres!!)
• The Install & Configure course is the best match to the exam
• You do have to attend an official course to be a VCP
• You can take the exam without attending an official course, but you won't be a VCP
• Roughly 85% of takers pass first time

Here's a few other nuggets of information I've picked up from VMware:

• The UK has more VCPs than any other country in EMEA
• EMEA has more VCPs that any other region (including North America!!)
• There are more than 25000 VCPs worldwide

If you want some exam coaching, there is an Exam Preparation Workshop, delivered by one of the Global Knowledge VMware instructors - the biggest selling point is that we have to pass the exam with a score of at least 85!
