The most important change to the revamped VMware certification program is the introduction of the VMware Certified Implementation Expert level, which replaces the VMware Certified Advanced Professional level.
The VMware Certified Implementation Expert (VCIX) level tests you on the skills necessary to create product-level designs and deploy the design components. To qualify for VCIX certification, you must already be a VMware Certified Professional (VCP) and pass two exams one focused on design and the other on administration. However, VMware shortened the certification exams from 4 hours to 2 hours.
In addition, the VCP certification also underwent a few changes. You must now pass two exams, rather than just one. The first is the vSphere 6 Foundations exam that validates your understanding of and ability to deploy vSphere. The second is specific to your area of focus. For example, if you're on the Data Center Virtualization track, you must complete the Data Center Virtualization exam. In addition, the VCP level requires that you complete a training course, such as vSphere: Optimize & Scale.

You will also find changes over Certified Design Expert (VCDX). For example, those who want to earn additional certification at this level after winning the first would be enough to introduce a new model that meets the requirements of certification. They should not be subjected to an additional defense. However, the level VCDX you must have a certification VCIX. This means that if you have a VMware Certified Advanced Professional (VCAP) certification, which is not eligible for the course VCDX. First, you must take one of the exams VCIX update VCIX VCAP certification.
In addition, VMware is dropping some tests and the addition of others, while updating its course offerings. Good news: the VMware Certified Associate level appears nearly unchanged. Of course, all this may seem overwhelming, and some of the information is still in progress or incomplete, so it is worth checking with VMware to further changes before seeking certification. On the positive side, VMware has created a state elite for completing multiple certifications for VCP, VCIX or VCDX level.
