Free hands-on labs for all VMware VCF certification exams

VMware Cloud Foundation · Exam practice · Checked October 2026

Every VCF exam I have written practice for, on one page. Pick the exam you are preparing for, then either read the guide (the blog post that explains the workbook) or go straight to the lab (the interactive task list you work through). The official Broadcom exam guide is one click away on every card.

The advanced exams come in two groups. Role exams (codes ending .26) test a whole job across the platform. Technology exams (codes ending .25) go deep on one product. Use the buttons to narrow the list.
