VMware Certified Advanced Professional – Desktop Design (VCAP-DTD)
First check the blueprints, don’t assume the docs I read are the correct ones, the versions might change. When I took the exam, the 21th of june, 5.1 was the exam version.
The exam takes 3,5 hours to complete. It really will take you that much time, there are 115 questions with many many drag and drop questions and many calculation to be done without a calculator. Prepare for this, it’s a long exam that takes a lot of energy and concentration.
Good luck with your exam and see you at VMworld in SFO.
