For any IT infra organization, your skills in the product is the major concern than the certifications you possess. In tune with this philosophy, all the IT organizations like Microsoft, Cisco and the like will permit you to appear for their international certifications without attending their official training. But VMware holds a different policy regarding their certification process for VCP. Even if you can appear for the VCP exam through Pearson VUE and pass the exam, your e-certificate will not be generated until you appear for a mandatory Install, Configure, Manage boot camp.
