FAQs
If I have more than one VCDX, can I take any VCAP Design exam to upgrade?
The tracks are all individual, so to upgrade to VCDX 2021, you will need to take the VCAP Design 2021 exam in that track. For example, if you are a VCDX-DCV 2020, regardless of how many other VCDXs you hold, you will need to pass the VCAP-DCV Design 2021 exam to upgrade to VCDX-DCV 2021.
What are the costs associated with the VCDX program?
The VCDX has two separate fees: An Application Fee of $995 USD is collected when you have submitted a complete application package. If the application is accepted for a defense before the VCDX Panel, a Defense Fee will be due: either $3000 for in-person defenses or $995 for remote defenses. First-time defenses are typically held in-person; however, we are currently only offering remote defenses due to in-person restrictions. Fees are subject to change. Any and all costs related to traveling to a design defense are the candidate's responsibility.
