New VCPs for VMware vSphere Foundation and VMware Cloud Foundation

Following the simplification of product offerings and SKUs, VMware have now launched 2 new VMware Certified Professional certifications for VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF) and VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)


VMware vSphere Foundation - Administrator

Let's start first with VVF, here's what VMware say about the target profile for this certification:




Learn more about this VCP on the VCP-VVF Administrator page and on this blog article.


VMware Cloud Foundation - Administrator

Moving to VCF, the target profile is the same but for someone working with the full VCF stack:





As above, there is a dedicated VCP-VCF Administrator page and blog article where you can get full details.


A couple of questions came to my mind:

Do these new certifications spell the end of the DataCenter Virtualization (DCV) certifications? Well, not yet, but I expect so come the start of 2025.

Will there be upgrade paths for those with existing VCPs? That concept doesn't really apply any more since there is only an exam requirement for a VCP now, no hard training requirements - to get these new VCPs you pass the exams for them.
