Will vSphere V5.x courses satisfy the VCP6-DCV certification upon passing the exam?
No, you must complete a vSphere V6 course to achieve certification if you do not hold a valid VCP certification, or if you hold a valid VCP5-DCV then we recommend you take the vSphere: What's New [V5.5 to V6.0].
Will earning VCP6-DCV certification re-certify my older VCP certification?
Yes, by passing the VCP6-DCV exam you will successfully re-certify.
Do I have to complete the requirements in the order listed?
No, however we strongly recommend that you do so. Also, please note that successfully registering to take an exam does not imply that you meet the certification requirements in full.
If I take a VCP6 course and become VCP6 certified, can I then later use that same course to gain a VCP5? Can the same course be used to gain two different level certifications?
No, a course can be used only once. If you complete a VCP6 course and pass the corresponding VCP6 exam(s), you are not able to use that same VCP6 course towards gaining a VCP5. One course per certification.
