What’s new at Nutanix University? New Beta certification: NCM-MCI 7.5

Nutanix announced that the Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) certification is updated to version 7.5, and the exam is now in the beta phase.

For those who don’t know, this is a hands-on exam in a real-lab environment and not a test.

You can find the blueprint guide here.

As usual, a beta exam is free to the first 250 candidates, with testing appointments offered from now through August 30, 2026. But! This time you must hold an active NCP or NCM certification.

Schedule your exam now and use the promo code NCMMCI75BETAFREE during checkout.

To prepare, you can check out my article based on version 6.10, because in most parts the exam should be the similar. However, the general advice remains: check the blueprint and practice things you don’t know in a lab.

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.

Preparing for the Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure 6.10 Exam

Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure 6.10 is the next certification level after NCP-MCI 6.10.

Since version 6.5, this exam has changed its format, and now it is not a familiar test but laboratory work in a live Nutanix multi-cluster environment with a certain number of scenarios and tasks that need to be completed. The closest analogies are any of the Red Hat exams.

Next, we will look in more detail at what the exam is and the list of topics, as well as the preparation procedure.

Note: This is an updated version of my NCM-MCI 6.5 prep guide.

Preparing for the Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure 6.5 Exam

Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure 6.5 is the next certification level after NCP-MCI 6.5, and successful completion of this certification provides access to the NCX and NPX expert-level exams.

If we draw a parallel with the certifications of other vendors, this certification belongs to the Advanced Professional category and, for quite a long time, was called Nutanix Certified Advanced Professional (NCAP).

Since version 6.5, this exam has changed its format, and now it is not a familiar test, but a laboratory work with a certain number of scenarios and tasks that need to be performed on real clusters. Again, the closest analogies are VMware Certified Advanced Professional – Deploy or any of the Red Hat exams.

Next, we will look in more detail at what the exam is, the list of topics, as well as the preparation procedure.
