VMware Certified Professional - VCP vSphere

It would appear that with the upcoming release of VMware vSphere (VI4) there will be an update to the VMware Certified Professional (VCP) certification.

Eric Sloof over at NTPRO.NL has posted an article on his site about this news.  He references a post on the vmware communities site which has the following comments from John Hall (Technical Certification Developer)

There is no time limit between when you take the class and when you take the exam. The only thing I will say is that at some point this year we will announce a new VCP certification that will apply to the new release of our datacenter product. The training you took will apply to the VCP on VI3 certification exam, but there may be some additional requirements in order to apply your training to the newer certification. Even after we announce the new certification, you can still achieve the VCP on VI3 certification using your existing training.

This was always likely to happen as the next release of Virtual Infrastructure is a major release with many new features included.  I will be very interested in finding out what the upgrade path will be for going from VCP VI3 to VCP vSphere.  Will there be a requirement to attend an upgrade class or will you be able to just sit the exam straight away. Keep your eyes peeled for more news later in the year.
