How to prepare for the VCP-VCF Administrator exam
Broadcom recommends its VMware Cloud Foundation: Deploy, Configure, Manage course along with hands-on lab time. A study loop that works: read the official exam guide on Broadcom’s certification page, take a practice set like the one above, then concentrate on the deploy, configure, and operate objectives — they make up the bulk of the exam. Because the exam is based on VCF 9.0, review the 9.0 release notes for renamed components (VCF Operations, VCF Automation, and VCF Fleet Management).
