FAQs
Why does the VCP-AM 2023 have a year designator as its version?
VMware Application Modernization solutions are frequently updated. Having a year as its certification version allows VMware to better maintain the exam and training content, and more importantly, provides certification candidates to communicate how current their skills are in relation to other certifications.
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.
How do I share my VCP-AM 2023 badge?
When you’ve earned a VMware badge, you will receive an email notification alerting you to claim your badge. When you accept your badge, you’ll be brought immediately into a sharing workflow that allows you to share to Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, embed in a personal website, or share over email.
What are the benefits of a badge?
- A single source that combines your credentials and provides a complete overview of your skills.
- Digital badges allow for you to easily share your accomplishments in social media.
- Provides employers with easy, valid verification of your VMware credentials.
