VMware Candidate ID

Mr-White · 14 Oct 2013 at 16:00

I'm trying to sign up to Pearson VUE to take my exam, the only problem is my candidate ID doesn't work. I wrote the 8 digit number down on the course back in March but it's not accepting it. Does anyone know where I can find out what my number is or why it's not accepted ?

mylearn.vmware.com, login with your details. Then click on myProfile link on the righthand side. CID is in there somewhere, if not it'll be on that site I'd of thought.

That 8 digit ID was for the course only, as you've found out it isn't your candidate ID,
You also have to sign in to your my-learn account with the same e-mail address that you signed into the course with.

Failing what ecksmen said, it's also on the certificate you received when attending the course

It seems like I used my work email not my hotmail for the account, I can see the course listed under past enrollments and I can open the certificate under mytranscript but nowhere does it show my candidate number. I even have a hard copy of a certificate which looks similar to the one on the vmware site but that has no candidate number either :confused:

Best bet is it contact VMware with the email address's you could have used, I recently had to merge 2 accounts and they done it within a few hours

Finally found the answer..
