Key Benefits of Oracle Certification for you and your Employer

---

---

Becoming professionally certified can be a smart career move for a technical professional. Unlike a college degree or even continuing education credits, OCP Certification will be a living, breathing credential as much a product of your commitment to being your best as it is of your proven abilities. For your manager, it is proof that you have the depth of knowledge and hands-on skills required to support Oracle core products according to a rigorous standard established by Oracle.
Oracle Certified Professionals have testified to the value of Oracle Certification in a study conducted in 1999 by Market Analysis and Research Strategies:

97% said they have benefited from certification. 89% said they gained more confidence in their Oracle expertise after becoming certified.
96% would recommend the program to a professional colleague. The Oracle Certified Professional Program is also valuable to hiring managers who want to distinguish among candidates for critical IT positions. Hiring certified professionals has a direct impact on a company's bottom line, as these conclusions from a research study conducted in 1997 by International Data Corporation suggest:

Certified professionals handled 40% more support calls per person, per day, than uncertified staff.
Companies that advocated certification reported 49% less downtime than those that did not.
For the majority of companies surveyed, the savings from increased effectiveness paid the costs of certification in fewer than nine months.

Plus it gives you job security.
The biggest advantage is it rounds out your knowledge of Oracle. So although it doesn't cover everything, you should hear about it and have an idea what it does.
