Hi Everyone,

Just an update. The Study group is coming soon! Don’t be tempted to buy any practice exams 😁! 

Again the study group won’t provide any answers, it will do much better, it will provide the means to get to the answers. Those same means and methods can then be used in real life production situations to solve problems. At the end of the day that is what we all want apart from the shinny certificate!

I hope to write mine this year. Need to get some study time. My hands on experience is fantastic. I don’t think there is an option or feature I haven't tried or used, but we all know how that relates to a test if you don’t study 😂

I usually enjoy the Veeam exam experiences, for the most part because I like to be challenged when I put effort in the preparations for an exam. This one was no different, I was enjoying the questions, until after 60 minutes I realized I only made 30% progress. I had to rush through the rest of the exam, which makes the experience a little less pleasant. With only 30 seconds on the clock, I finished the last question. No time left for review. Nevertheless, the Veeam exams are still the best in their field.
Not sure if I can comment on the lack of case studies. Honestly, I did not fully read the NDA before taking the exam…

The VMCA v12 exam is available, I passed the exam yesterday. Time management during the exam was key in my case.

How did you find this one compared to the v11 one where you had a case study?  I heard this one does not have that?

You can definitely book the v12 VMCA exam as I was about to then asked about vouchers or discounts so waiting on that before dropping $300 US.  😋

Hi @kristofpoppe - v12 is available..as is v11, according to Veeam’s cert site:

Question to recent VMCA exam takers: The exam is still based on V11 ? I’ve checked Rasmus’ videos and he was talking about the unability to backup direct to object storage. True… until V12. This makes it quite hard to study for the exam based on V12 helpcenter and day to day experience….

While I like money and banked time,  I also like relaxing and turning my brain off from time to time.  I

This is probably the reason I didn’t sit for the exam the first time I went through the VMCE course.  I try to separate work from home-life as much as possible, but maybe a bit too much at times.

I’ll do my best to attend. I still need to write it, but my work load has been so high I have not had time to study. 

My workload has been that way lately too, but it is all Veeam so should help with the VMCA next month.  😁

My work as basically pre-approved as much OT as I need due to our workload. While I like money and banked time,  I also like relaxing and turning my brain off from time to time.  I get to hire someone which long term will pay off, but this also digs into my time with testing/interviews, and then training. haha.

Yeah, writing those books helps too and I even use them as a resource for study if you can believe it.  😂

Looking forward to join the group.

Maybe I will be one of a the few, that does not have a shiny certificate in advance, but it sure sounds pretty. So I want one of those…

What?...you mean the “shiney certficate” is not the goal?? 😂

I actually heard someone at a job interview say “it is only the certificate that manners, not the knowledge”. I could never figure out whether the person had a Titanic personality or simple were being forced to go to the interview and did not want the job.

👀 “it is only the certificate that manners, not the knowledge” … my God!
