All,
I wanted to thank everyone on this forum with the questions and answers from everyone. This forum helped me in my pursuit of VCP5-DCV. It is a hard exam but if you follow the recommendations from the moderators and apply the knowledge in your lab/break your lab, you should gain the knowledge necessary to pass the exam. As others have noted, the required course is good but not everything you need in order to pass. I did not have any prior hands-on experience with vSphere but do have over 25 years in high tech. The hands-on experience is crucial for learning and understanding how things work, how they do not. I am not done learning this material by any means so I will still be around. I am looking to learning about VCAP-DCD next. Once again, thank you everyone.
