Hi Class,
Just wanted to give an update concerning the voucher and exam.
I was able to gain access to the VMware 70% off voucher Humber provides, but you need to register for exam VCP510PSE to use it, not the regular VCP510 exam.
I attempted to register the VCP510PSE exam, on VMware website at below link by clicking "Request Authorization", but the page just refreshes instead of prompting me to login. If I am already logged in, it just gives me a link to call, email or chat with VMware concerning the issue.
I have sent VMware and email to verify why I am not able to register for VCP510PSE, but I am able to register for VCP510 and current awaiting their response.
Here's what I've read concerning difference between VCP510PSE & VCP510.
VCP510 exam requires we take the VMware mandatory training for the $4,000 to $5,000 for a 5 day class. Once we pass exam and do course we are certified.
For VCP510PSE exam we apparently only need to take a VMware Academy course from an institution (ex: potentially Humber), have the institution submit our transcript to VMware, pass VCP510PSE and we are automatically certified, meaning no need for VMware training.
I'm not sure how true this is, or if its a loop hole in their system, but I will try to test this theory as soon as I can register for VCP510PSE. If I am not successful I will do the regular VCP510.
Hope this helps, let me know if you found any other info concerning this issue.
Personally I think its a possible loop hole as the link doesn't work and VMware recently updated their registration page. They could be blocking us out to change the rule? Not too sure.
I still need to find out who does Humber need to send the transcript to at VMware if this is all true.
