VMware suggests taking the following three steps to become a VMware Certified Professional:
1. Participate in a VMware authorized course that is instructor-led to learn best practices and gain hands-on experience. If you are a current VCP, there are no course prerequisites.
2. Gain hands-on experience with VMware. Individuals who do not have the hands on experience find it very difficult to pass the exam.
3. Enroll and pass the certification exam. To register to take the VMware Certified Professional examination please contact Pearson VUE, a third-party testing center at www.pearsonvue.com/vmware

Alternatively, as a much faster (and less expensive) option you could simply purchase the Chinacertify VCP value pack for one low price to obtain all the information you need to become a VMware Certified Professional.
