Speaking of OCP...I got this from the OCP newsletter...I guess Oracle needs
more revenue streams...
Dear Oracle Certified Professional,
Please acknowledge this correspondance as an official notification in
regards to your pursuit of Oracle Certification.
The Oracle Certification credential continues to provide leverage to those who have earned it, leading to increased demand for Oracle Certified Professionals among hiring managers. To help meet this demand and increase the value of the credential, Oracle is investing heavily in the betterment of certification exams and learning offerings. Oracle customers and business partners demand that their Oracle Certified Professionals have hands-on experience with all aspects of the Oracle database. To meet our commitment to customers and constituents, three distinct changes are being rolled out with the goal of increasing the level of quality of our certification skill and ability benchmarks:
Scenario-based testing in all new Oracle Certified Professional track exams
(as of January, 2002)
Instructor-led class requirement for all Oracle9i DBA Certified
Professionals (as of June 15, 2002)
A new hands-on Masters Practicum (available October, 2002)
The OCP Oracle9i DBA track requires four tests: two required tests for OCA
certification plus two additional tests. Oracle now also requires (as of
June 15, 2002) that all newly starting OCP credential candidates complete
one hands-on course with Oracle University in preparation for their exams
and future role as an Oracle technologist.
Because you are already an Oracle Certified Professional, you are not required to complete any course requirements to upgrade your credential to Oracle9i status. You will simply be required to take the appropriate OCP DBA upgrade exam(s).
The Masters Practicum exam will be launched during October 2002 at regional centers around the globe. This credential will prove to the market that each Oracle Certified Master has demonstrated the ability to be successful on the job. To learn more about this credential, view our website's section specific to the OCM program. The program requires that candidates first earn their OCP for Oracle9i, and then complete two advanced courses from Oracle University. The website includes a list of courses that can be applied to meet the requirement. After fulfilling the course requirement, candidates can schedule an appointment for their practicum exam. The exam is a two-day event at a regional Oracle University center involving hands-on, job-performance-based testing using Oracle9i Database technologies.
For more information, visit www.oracle.com/education/certification, or phone your local Oracle University representative. A complete listing of local Oracle University representative phone numbers can be at www.oracle.com/education/index.html?contact.html.
Thank you for your understanding of Oracle's commitment to excellence and continued quality for the Oracle Certification Program.
Regards,
Oracle Certification
