VMware VCAP Exams Updated for VCF 9.1.1: 3V0-12.26 and 12 More Exams

Explore all 13 VMware VCAP exams aligned with VCF 9.1.1, including updated exam objectives and the latest practice tests from DumpsBase.

Two Important Moves for Private Cloud Professionals

VMware by Broadcom has made two improtant moves for private cloud professionals:

• On August 31, 2026, new role-based VMware Certified Advanced Professional (VCAP) credentials for administrators, architects, and support specialists were announced.

• On September 3, 2026, VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.1.1 became generally available with new AI, GitOps, networking, and Kubernetes operations capabilities.

What Are the New Role-Based VMware VCAP Credentials?

The new role-based VMware Certified Advanced Professional (VCAP) credentials, which were announced on August 31, 2026, are:

• 3V0-11.26 Advanced VMware Cloud Foundation 9 Administrator

• 3V0-12.26 Advanced VMware Cloud Foundation 9 Architect

• 3V0-13.26 Advanced VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Support

These three new exams are the clearest starting point for candidates whose work spans the full private cloud stack.

• Choose 3V0-11.26 Administrator if you run and optimize VCF environments.

• Choose 3V0-12.26 Architect if you turn requirements, risks, and service objectives into a private cloud design.

• Choose 3V0-13.26 Support if you diagnose complex faults and maintain service reliability.

VCF 9.1.1 is current, but the exams still reference VCF 9.0

VCF 9.1.1 became generally available on September 3, 2026, but Broadcom's current certification catalog still identifies the active credentials as VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 or VMware vSphere Foundation 9.0. No exam is currently named for VCF 9.1.1, so candidates should not assume that every feature in the release is part of an exam blueprint.

The release adds several capabilities for private cloud teams:

• Multi-tenant AI model sharing for more efficient private AI services

• An AI Assistant for diagnostics and operations

• A native GitOps Service based on Argo CD as a technical preview

• EVPN improvements for networking and workload mobility

• VMware Kubernetes Service 3.7 add-on lifecycle improvements

• Deeper Kubernetes monitoring with high-frequency metrics and OpenTelemetry-based visibility

These updates help explain how the expanded VCAP lineup maps to real job roles, from architects and administrators to automation, networking, VKS, and support professionals. They also give the earlier specialist tracks more practical context, particularly in AI operations, GitOps, VKS, and networking.

Complete VMware VCP Certification Map

These two moves make the VMware certification map easier to read. Currently, the VCP portfolio contains 13 career certifications:

• Five VCP paths cover professional-level administration, architecture, and suppoot;

• Eight VCAP paths cover advanced role-based and specialist skills.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1.1 certification exam?

Not by that name in Broadcom's current certification catalog. VCF 9.1.1 is the current product release, while the active VCP and VCAP credentials still reference VCF 9.0 or vSphere Foundation 9.0. Always check the exam guide for the exact exam code before building a study plan.

How many current VMware VCAP exams are there?

Broadcom currently lists eight VMware Cloud Foundation VCAP certifications: Administrator, Architect, Support, Automation, Operations, Storage, VKS, and Networking.

There are 13 current career certifications in the VMware Cloud Foundation category: five VCP certifications and eight VCAP certifications.

What is the difference between VCP and VCAP?

VCP validates professional-level knowledge for a defined role or platform. VCAP is the advanced level and expects deeper judgment across administration, design, support, or a specialist technical domain.

Which VCAP exam should an existing VCF administrator choose?

The most direct role-based option is 3V0-11.26. Administrators with a narrower specialization may also consider Operations, Automation, Storage, VKS, or Networking, depending on their daily responsibilities.
