Re: Certifications don't count! (from a good test-taker)

For verification, you can just look online at http://www.oracle.com/technology/ocm/

If they aren't listed there, they may still be an OCM, but if they're on the page, they're an OCM since Oracle Ed maintains that page. As far as I know, OCM credentials have no expiration, though at some point, they're probably outdated and not much help.
