Licensing authority: Nutanix
Initial by examination
- Audience
- The intended candidate has approximately 1+ years of holistic IT infrastructure experience and equivalent Nutanix experience; the guide describes successful candidates rather than prescribing a mandatory prior credential.
- Award
- Passing the NCP-MCI 7.5 exam results in the NCP-MCI 7 certification.
- Certification Validity
- The earned NCP-MCI 7 certification remains valid for three years; this personal certification duration does not set the exam's validThrough.
- Delivery
- Remote proctoring after registration and valid identification, or in-person at select test centers with government-issued ID and arrival 15 minutes before the start; identity must be validated before testing.
- Institutional Arrangement
- The optional one-day NCP-MCI Exam Prep workshop includes taking the same NCP-MCI exam in its final portion; it is not a separate examination or mandatory school route.
- Language
- English only in this task; Japanese availability does not create another submitted exam or version.
- Pathway Boundary
- Initial certification only. The guide's later recertification choices are not additional examinations in this initial dependency set.
- Retakes
- After first failure, two additional paid attempts are allowed, with seven days between attempts; after three attempts, wait 60 days and request an attempt reset from university@nutanix.com.
- Scheduling
- Schedule through My Certifications on Nutanix University. Appointments are subject to available times and locations; no individual date or seat during the requested horizon has been reserved or guaranteed. The July 10, 2026 promotional offer has expired.
- Training
