I scheduled my first VMware Certified Advanced Professional Exam for December 30th. I wasn’t planning on taking this until spring, but I ran across a discount voucher that had to be used by the end of the year.

I’ve already started to prepare for this exam. The resources I’m going to be using are:

• VMware Certified Advanced Professional 5 – Data Center Design by Paul McSharry
• The vBrownbag series on the VCAP-DCD. The sessions can be downloaded from iTunes at http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/professionalvmware-brownbags/id468638808
• Additional videos and slide decks from ProfessionalVMware.com

I will post more about my experiences preparing for the exam and my experience taking it.
