The 60 minute “remote defence” was added as a requirement for Multi-VCDX in early 2016. This was added to protect the integrity of the Multi-VCDX certification. This post is based upon my preparation and observations for the VCDX-CMA track I defended recently. Parts of this post could also be applied to VCDX candidates that are defending for the second time remotely.

VCDX – “Go-To” Logical Designs
As an Enterprise Architect, whether you are getting ready for the VCDX Design Scenario portion of your VCDX defence or improving your “on the fly” consulting skills in client meetings, it makes a lot of sense to have a standard set of “Go-To” logical design templates that you can rely upon when white boarding.
VCDX – Mentoring
I get a lot of requests to mentor VCDX candidates and I am happy to assist, if you demonstrate a genuine drive and enthusiasm to learn and do the work. I have streamlined my mentoring process to allow the maximum number of VCDX candidates for each defence cycle.

The Process of Mastery
When learning something completely new, whether it be a skill or technology, there are a specific sequence of steps that I always follow. This is a technology focused post, but you can use this process for the mastery of any skill.
VCDX – Multi-VCDX Success
If you are VCDX certified and considering going for Multi-VCDX (double, triple or quadruple VCDX), this post covers the pre-requisites, requirements and a strategy for Multi-VCDX success.
UPDATE: The VCDX Program has 1 hour telephone defenses for Multi-VCDX candidates.
VCDX – I FAILED, now what?
You have recently defended and received the message: “I regret to inform you that your attempt to achieve VCDX certification was unsuccessful.” What should you do next? Do you immediately submit for the next defence, wait and recuperate or just abandon it altogether?
It all depends upon your personal circumstances and what you are trying to achieve. What is motivating you? Maybe you have moved into R&D or Senior Management and this skill-set is no longer applicable to your career path, ie. the “juice is not worth the squeeze.”
