REMINDER– you have a straightforward upgrade path if you hold any Oracle application certification based upon a previous version, such as Siebel 7.7 and 11i E-Business Suite.
When upgrading your application certification, you have two things that are working in your favor:
- When upgrading your application certification, you are not required to meet a new mandatory hands-on course requirement, as is required of initial certification candidates.
- Your upgrade only requires you to take a single exam in order to upgrade. For example, 11i certificate holders DO NOT need to retake the E-Business Essentials exam in order to upgrade.
We have tried to streamline the path for those who are already certified as much as possible. I encourage you to take advantage of this streamlined path to upgrade your certification.

Many thanks for the clarification.
I had discussed this topic with my readers on a blog post entitled "One World, One Dream, One Exam".

I recently received the Oracle Certification email and then ended up visiting this site as it seems it is one of the few url's which actually will bring up a page in the email. The same goes with this site, try to navigate to some of the beta exams or other exams, . Paul Sorensen | Director, Oracle Certification should be ashamed to put his name on the emails and on this site with so many of the links not working. I don't think it takes certification to verify the operation of a website! I am wondering if Larry Ellison actually will sign your check after such work? Attaching one of the url's for you to try! http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=155
