VCP is for life mate according to VMWare's website so you don't loose the right to call yourself a VCP on the version you passed it at.

 

The certification industry as a whole needs to name and shame people and organisations found to be using or supplying braindumps, I'd have liked to have seen the certification vendors get together when certguard came up for sale putting their considerable combined resources in to ensuring the dump sites can be named and shamed.

Even some statistics from the vendors as to how many dumpers are banned/stripped of credentials in a given year would go some way to making the risks real to those who use these things. Unfortunately the numbers at the moment are likely to be embarrassingly low...

 

They're still for sale, so it could still happen. Sadly, I doubt the certification vendors are interested, and they should be.

Microsoft used to provide that information. They probably stopped because the numbers WERE embarrassingly low... they truly were. At the time they stopped reporting the information, fewer than 10 people were being decertified each month.

Still, that was before they started using their statistical data to catch suspected dumpers... I dunno how many they catch nowadays. But the problem persists... specifically because there doesn't look to be much enforcement going on.

 

I would say they are non existent as the certification vendor would have to prove without a doubt that the person was cheating and that would cost a lot of money to do otherwise they leave themselves open to being sued for potentially ruining someone's career.
