This post is not meant to provide review guidelines but my take on the exam as someone: Who has been taking only VMware Certifications in the last 10 years (my last non-vmware cert is NCDA back in 2010?)

Testing current theme. Still getting hang out of it. Trying to conceptualize the color scheme. Hopefully will be done by the week.   Oh yeah.. I’m preparing for DCD exam too. Goodluck to me   UPDATE: Just passed the exam ^^
