VMware announces its newest certification: VMware Certified Advanced Professional

Just a few minutes ago VMware released the information about a new training certification program called VMware Certified Advanced Professional (VCAP).

VCAP is obviously focused on vSphere and other 4.0 products wave, and it’s divided into two sub-certs: Datacenter Administration and Datacenter Design.

Both require that candidates already hold the VMware Certified Professional (VCP) status.
None of them requires attending a mandatory classroom or workshop but VMware suggests specific training paths:

The exams won’t be available before July (VCAP-DCA) and August (VCAP-DCD).
