No. Beryllium has only two valence electrons and forms ionic bonds with chlorine, not covalent bonds. Beryllium atoms form 2+ ions, and chlorine atoms form 1- ions in order to form the ionic compound beryllium chloride, BeCl2.
Beryllium chloride
BeCl2
Most of the time the bond between a metal and a nonmetal is ionic. However, there are some exceptions, such as BeCl2, which is covalent. The difference in electronegativity determines what kind of bond will form. Metals and nonmetals with a difference in electronegativity of >1.6 are considered to have an ionic bond.

Be is the only member of II group which can not form the ionic bond so BeCl2 is a covalent compound.
Usually a metal bonded and a nonmetal form an ionic bond. There are some exceptions, such as BeCl2, which has covalent bonds.
One atom is a metal and another is a nonmetal.

Be and Cl form an ionic bond (BeCl2), and it is polar.
This is an ionic compound.
