Unofficial VMCA v12 Study Guide

Happy Wednesday Community! If you follow the VMCA Study Hall page, you know I recently shared I just passed my v12 VMCA 2024 exam. In the post, I shared several good tips on what to expect on the exam, to coincide with a similar post from a few mos ago. During my studies, as I normally do, I created an outline of all the Sections and Topics listed in the Veeam VMCA Exam Guide, and I thought the Community would benefit from it. To my knowledge, there has never been a usable Guide created for any Veeam exams (honestly, with the extense of information required to know, it would really be too long...at least for the VMCE), so I thought I’d make this one available for you all to download/use.

I was also able to get additional information from Veeam trainers to add to my Guide regarding explicit topics covered on the exam. I provide these items at the end of the Guide. Though they are not listed on the Veeam VMCA Exam Guide, I was told the information is provided to attendees of the v12 VMCA Course, so is public in a sense, and thus I was cleared to share this additional information in my Guide. Most of those additional bullet items at the end I cover in my Guide. There are several I don’t, but you are still responsible for all of them. Also, my Guide provides the same links as those referenced in the Exam Guide so you don’t have to go back/forth.

My goal, as with all my Guides, is to help you with your exam studies. If you plan on taking the VMCA exam soon, I hope you find this Guide a valuable asset to help you achieve a passing score. If you find or notice any errors, please let me know so I can make corrections. I want to give a shout out to both @chrishuss72 and @Chris.Childerhose for their input and reviews to help make this better. Thanks guys!

Best.

It was my pleasure to review and contribute to this guide.  As you said we don't have many things like this for the VMCA exam so to help the community is what it is all about.

Quick tip combine this with the blueprint which has links and you will have some good study materials. 😎

For sure Chris! And thanks again.

FYI - my Guide has the same links in it as the official Exam Guide, so should be good to go; but yes...verify everything with the Exam Guide nonetheless. Never hurts to be sure πŸ˜Š

​@coolsport00/​@Chris.Childerhose Thanks a ton for your study guide! It helped me dial in on what areas I was lacking in and pointed me in the right directions of what KB’s I should be diving into.

I was able to Pass the VMCA Exam on my first try this past weekend, what a tough exam. Thank you everyone for the great community and resources!

 

Cheers!!
