Citrix CCA vs VMWare VCP

[farscapesg1]

So, after working with VMWare for several years and passing my VCP4 and VCP5 exams, instead of advancing down that path for 5.5 my work has decided that we need to look into desktop virtualization on the Citrix platform so they are sending me to Citrix XenDesktop training (and XenApp since we've been deploying a lot more Citrix apps in the last couple years). For those who are familiar with both, how does the difficulty for the tests compare between the two? Personally, I'm horrible at tests and it took two try's for my VCP4 and I barely passed my VCP5. I'm sure they will expect me to take and pass the tests to help "prove" the training was worth the cost since a piece of paper means so much

CCA is not as comprehensive as the VCP. If you passed the VCP then studying for any of the CCA's should be a breeze. http://citrixxperience.com/ has some free study guides and some you can pay for. I used the site to help prepare for my CCAA.
