Preparing for the Nutanix Certified Professional – Cloud Native 6.10 (NCP-CN 6.10) Exam

A few months ago, I took the Nutanix Certified Professional – Cloud Native 6.10 exam, and in this post, I want to share materials I used to prepare for this exam.

For those who did not hear about this certification, NCP-CN measures your ability to use the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform product, which makes Kubernetes management much easier.

This guide outlines the preparation methodology I am using for certification exams, and it is applicable to other Nutanix exams as well.

Nutanix Certified Professional is the second stage in the Nutanix certification track. This certification requires the candidate to have good theoretical and practical knowledge of working with Nutanix solutions and is divided into several tracks:

Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCP-MCI)
Nutanix Certified Professional – Database Automation (NCP-DB)
Nutanix Certified Professional – Unified Storage (NCP-US)
Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA)
Nutanix Certified Professional – End User Computing (NCP-EUC)
Nutanix Certified Professional – Cloud Integration (NCP-CI)
Nutanix Certified Professional – Cloud Native (NCP-CN)

In this article, we will look at the main topics from the Nutanix Certified Professional – Cloud Native (NCP-CN) exam version 6.10, and I will also share materials that you can use to prepare yourself.

What’s new at Nutanix University? New certification NCP-CN is Now Available for Scheduling

Nutanix Certified Professional – Cloud Native (NCP-CN) 6.10 is ready to leave the beta state and exam is now open for scheduling with exam appointments starting on Tuesday, April 22

For those, who do not know, what NCP-CN is, it is the certification that measures your ability to deploy, configure, optimize, and perform administrative tasks on a Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP).

The best way to start preparing is to check the blueprint guide. You can find the blueprint guide here.

To schedule the exam, use the My Certification section on Nutanix University. Next, find the Nutanix Certified Professional – Cloud Native 6.10 certification and click schedule. You will be forwarded to the PSI page, where you can select a suitable date and time.

In addition, I highly recommend checking the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform Administration (NKAP) free online course to get the knowledge on the NKP solution. Also, if you have an opportunity, I recommend visiting this course live, because it includes a lot of hands-on labs, and it really can boost your knowledge on NKP, especially if you have a poor practice experience.

What’s new at Nutanix University? New certification NCP-CN and beta exams opportunities

Nutanix released a new anticipated training and certification related to the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform, or NKP.

First, the new course, Nutanix Kubernetes Platform Administration (NKPA), is available for free online at Nutanix University! The course is based on AOS 6.10, Prism Central 2024.2, and Nutanix Kubernetes Platform 2.12, and teaches you how to deploy, configure, and manage the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP).

New certification Nutanix Certified Professional – Cloud Native (NCP-CN) developed to test your abilities in deploying, managing, and troubleshooting NKP.

For now, the certification is in a beta state and available totally free for the first 250 participants, just use the discount during checkout: NCPCN610BETA. You can find this certification on the PSI certs lists. The first test date is January 28, 2025, and you have time to prepare. The last test date is March 10, 2025.

Keep in mind, that during the beta state, you won’t get your results immediately after completing the exam. Usually, it takes a month or two after beta is over, and I can guess that the results of the exam could be at the end of April or in May.
