including those at the Associate level.

The
way I read that, you have to have the OCA exams before you can get the
OCP. So if you take and pass the OCP, until you pay for and pass the
OCA, you cannot get the OCP certificat and recognition and you cannot
even take the OCM.

Am not clear on
this. To b an OCP, we require to pass 5 exams....right ?? So, if we get
the
OCP Associate after
passing 2 exams, we need to pass only another 3 exams for getting
OCP
or do we have to go
through all the 5 exams all over again ??
<FONT
face=Arial>
I think we can directly
sit for the OCP tests though instead of going through the OCA. But to get
the
OCP Master, we will
necessarily have to b a OCP.
<FONT
face=Arial>
Do correct me if I am
wrong though.

ORACLE-LSubject: RE: The OCP bar is being

I'd say the cost is being raised. Look at the
requirements for each. You can't just take the OCM exam. No we
would first have to get the OCA. Whether or not we need the entry
level cert we have to have it. Then, and only then, can we take the
OCP. Then and only then, can we take the OCM and that is after we
take these REQUIRED classes from Oracle Ed. So someone the caliber
of Steve Adams or Jared Still, has to spend money in a class that they
could probably teach from memory before they can get certification and
that is after getting 2 other certs that have no value to them. Call
me a cynic, but to me, this is nothing but a money grab.
From the website:
--To become an Oracle Associate, you must pass the exams
required -- for the Oracle Associate level of your
selected job role. Typically, --two exams are
required; the first one can be taken via the Internet, <FONT

By --completing your Oracle Associate, you are
half-way toward achieving the -- Oracle Certified
Professional credential.
--To become an Oracle Certified Professional, you must

role, including those at the Associate level.
--To become an Oracle Certified Master, you must first be
an Oracle --Certified Professional. Additionally,
achieving your OCM credential --requires attending
two advanced level Oracle University courses from <FONT

exam.

Anyone care to comment on the following, IMHO it's about
time: <FONT
size=2>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- Introducing two new levels of
Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) Achievement <FONT
size=2> A recent *IDC report on IT Education
and Training Services quoted database <FONT
size=2>professionals and network engineers as the fastest-growing areas of
Professional Certification. And in an October
survey from *crn.com on Certification, 58% of <FONT
size=2>respondents said that it is very difficult to find qualified Oracle
Certified Professionals-Database Administrators.
To meet this demand, we have recently introduced two new
levels of professional achievement to DBAs (and
soon to be released to Application and Java Developers <FONT
size=2>worldwide):
The Oracle Certified Associate (OCA) -- an entry-level
Oracle qualification requiring successful
completion of two exams. The Oracle Certified
Master (OCM) -- an advanced qualification for Oracle <FONT
size=2>Certified Professionals (OCP), that requires students to take a
practicum exam on-sitee at an Oracle University
education center. Visit <A
