Hi everyone,
Welcome to the new Oracle Certification Program Blog. We hope that you’ll enjoy this as a great way for those of us on the Oracle Certification team to share information and updates into what’s going on in the program.
Because we here at Oracle are hard at work each day to maximize the value of your Oracle certification, we look forward to sharing insights with you about what we are doing and why are doing it.
Several weeks of brainstorming amongst the certification team has resulted in a list of topics that we feel I should discuss in the blog. Honestly - this list got pretty long. Sparing you the lengthy details, here are a few examples:
- What is the Oracle program doing to help curb cheating?
- What is the real value of certification?
- How should I go about studying for the Oracle exams?
- My certificate took longer than I expected to arrive. Why?
- Why does Oracle have a training requirement?
- What should I do if I have a problem?
I look forward to covering not only these topics, but many more as well. Watch for new posts once or twice per week. My hope that it will give you some good insight to the ‘behind the scenes’ workings of the Oracle Certification Program.
For comments, ideas, and/or suggestions, please email us at paul-blog_ww@oracle.com.
Regards,
Paul Sorensen

Paul, I recently cleared OCA (1z0-007 and 1z0-147)
Now I'm studying for 1z0-141.
Did I hear that the review questions are obsolete?
Also, is there another path for OCP besides 1z0-141?
Thanks for hosting this Blog.

Great job Paul! ;)
Can you do me a favour and push ECM Certification with the Oracle UCM application - at the moment theres no certification for this that I`m aware of.. And Oracle have now owned this peace of software for just over a year.
Thanks

Hemant - yes, the Developer and DBA tracks are indeed different. The technical specifics of the Oracle Database 11g certification track series are detailed at http://tinyurl.com/3lxkmu.

Dear all,
I was going through Oracle's certification site where I found for Exam Number 1Z0-007 (Introduction to Oracle9i SQL®)
under Recommended Training and Preparation category:
# Introduction to Oracle9i: SQL
# or Oracle Database 10g: Introduction to SQL
# or Oracle Database 10g: SQL Fundamentals I
&
for Exam Number 1Z0-147(Program with PL/SQL)
under Recommended Training and Preparation category:
Oracle9i: Program with PL/SQL
Oracle Database 10g: Program with PL/SQL
Does this mean same exam code is applicable for 9i and 10g exam? Moreover, are the question sets same for these versions?
How can one opt for 9i 0r 10g as same exam code is ther? What is the difference in these versions paper?
Please enlighten me on this.
thanks and regards
