Also, the following certification will be retired effective July 11, 2015:
- Citrix Certified Administrator (CCA) for Citrix XenDesktop 5
What the above announcements mean are that as of July 11, 2015, the 1Y0-A19, 1Y0-200, 1Y0-250, and 1Y0-350 will no longer be available to take and the CCA for Citrix XenDesktop 5 certification will no longer be attainable. But, please note that anyone who has already attained the CCA for Citrix XenDesktop 5 will not be impacted by this retirement. In other words, you will still officially hold the CCA for Citrix XenDesktop 5 certification until it expires sometime in the future.
