Na het volgen van de training, leg je het Foundation-examen (examencode 2V0-620) af. Dit is een online examen dat je thuis of op kantoor kunt afleggen. Je mag je boek en Google er dus bijhouden, als je de vragen maar binnen de gestelde tijd beantwoordt. Met het behalen van het Foundation-examen toon je aan dat je basiskennis van VMware vSphere beheerst, de fundering van alle andere VMware-producten.

Na het behalen van het Foundation-examen, leg je het examen VCP6-DCV (examencode: 2V0-621) af op een Pearson VUE-examenlocatie. Wanneer je deze examens behaald hebt, ben je gecertificeerd voor VCP6-DCV.
