Changes are happening with the Oracle Certification Process

September 10th, 2009 by Robert McMillen • No Comments

Over the years I’ve taken and been fortunate to pass several Oracle Certification exams.  For those who have not done so, you should know that the Oracle Certification Program can provide significant value to those who qualify.

Surveys of Oracle Certified Professionals have reported that:

  • 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

If you have more questions about the value of an Oracle certification, you can read more HERE.

Beginning September 25, 2009, Oracle certification exams will now be offered through a new test delivery vendor – Pearson VUE — and will no longer be available through Prometric.

Pearson VUE currently offers certification testing in more than 4,500 test centers worldwide so you shouldn’t have problems finding one nearby.

After September 13, you will no longer be able to register with Prometric (although you may still take their exam at Prometric through September 25). Registrations for Oracle exams through Pearson VUE will begin on September 14, 2009.  You can visit www.pearsonvue.com/oracle to find more information, register for an exam or locate a testing center in their area. Existing Oracle exam vouchers will continue to be valid as long as they have not expired.

You will find  more information and a series of FAQs on the Oracle Certification Program website.
