Last days for me are quite intensive, last week I passed VCP5 – exam was fairly easy – today morning I got approval from my manager and I registered for VCAP5-DCD for 24/02/2012 at 8 am total costs is 183 EURO, which is very good price if we take into account common price for VCAP4-DCD which is around 500EURO. Good that I bought a book, vSphere 5 Mastering by Scott Lowe and vSphere 5 HA Deep Dive by Duncan Epping, now I have to speed up on reading 😉 just 2 days and 3 nights 🙂 left to exam due date.
In Frankfurt, there are 3 education centers which I could schedule an exam, almost all slot times where already booked – it’s crazy, I did not expect so many people were invited for VCAP5-DCD beta. I had real difficulties to find a free slot time for my appointment finally I found one in Pearson Professional Centers-Frankfurt.
