December 31, 2017 – the last day of the year. The time of New Year’s Eve, presents and miracles. They say that people should say goodbye to old things, thoughts and grievances… Evidently, the IT company VMware adheres to this superstition. After all, on December, 31 the company will retire the whole list of old exams and related certifications. The main reason for such a great withdrawal is the release of the new VCA-DBT certification.
VMware is retiring the following VMware Certified Associate 6 certifications and exams:
- VMware Certified Associate 6 – Data Center Virtualization (VCA6-DCV) – 1V0-621 exam
- VMware Certified Associate 6 – Network Virtualization (VCA6-NV) – 1V0-642 exam
- VMware Certified Associate 6 – Desktop and Mobility (VCA6-DTM) – 1V0-605 exam
- VMware Certified Associate 6 – Cloud Management and Automation (VCA6-CMA) – 1V0-603 exam
