Oracle University has released the new Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional (OCP) certification.
Testing began April 1, 2009 for the new "Oracle Database 11g Advanced PL/SQL" certification exam (1Z0-146) at Prometric testing centers worldwide. This exam tests the proficiency and knowledge in key areas of PL/SQL design and tuning to ensure the most efficient interface with the database and other applications. This 68-question exam is the only requirement to upgrade the Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA to Oracle Certified Professional (OCP). Test candidates are allowed as long as 90 minutes to complete the exam, and a minimum score of 65% is required to pass. Score details and completion status are available immediately at the end of the exam.
Although training is not a mandatory requirement for this certification, it is highly encouraged to best prepare for the certification. Oracle offers the Oracle Database 11g: Advanced PL/SQL training course (#D52601GC10). In this class, students learn through real-life examples and hands-on lab activities to use advanced features of program design, packages, cursors, extended interface methods, large objects and collections as well as to write powerful PL/SQL programs. Additionally, students are taught programming efficiency, use of external C and Java routines, fine-grained access and safeguarding code against SQL Injection attacks. Course attendees will receive a downloadable eKit containing the training materials for this course.
Certification exam candidates can register now online at Prometric.

This is one good thing that I recently saw here. It's a good course even someone with--
Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate
can apply for this course and get Advanced certified. And also someone can take the whole course at once.
Have heard that this is a great program and after reading about it, it sounds interesting.

Anyone know where I could get the e-book for self-preparation into 1Z0-146 exam ? And I looking the test simulation tools too e.g. Testking, Quest Self Test Software (STS), but haven't find any product of 1Z0-146 test simulation.

The good news is YES, Self Test Software is developing a practice test to help you prepare for the Oracle 1Z0-146 exam. The bad news is we don't have it on the shelves just yet. Our Oracle expert just completed his analysis of the test objectives and development schedule. We should have a practice test available shortly after the holidays.
