Nutanix announced an update of the starter certification, called Nutanix Certified Associate 7.5. For now this certification is in the beta state.

As usual, the beta exams are completely free for the first 250 participants; simply use the following discount during checkout: NCA75BETANEW. You can schedule this exam from Nutanix University. Exam appointments offered from now through June 14, 2026.

After scheduling, start with the exam Blueprint guide, next enroll in the Nutanix Hybrid Cloud Fundamentals (NHCF) course, and finish with the materials provided in the blueprint if needed. I use this strategy to prepare for all Nutanix exams, and usually it works.

Notice: After taking a beta exam, you won’t receive your results immediately. Results typically appear 1.5 or 2 months after the beta exam period concludes.
