2 Testing IDs from Pearson Vue

Hi all, I'm new to this community, though I've been searching the forum in case of doubts. I read a similar problem here but it was not of much help.
Here, I have a few problems regarding my certifications. Just FYI, I'm from INDIA and appeared for my examinations at NIIT (an authorised Vue testing centre). NIIT is a IT training institute.
1. I took my 1z0-007 (SQL) exam and 1z0-042 (Oracle 10g:Adminstaration Workshop I) from NIIT, Cannought Place and was given a testing ID: AB1234567 (not actual) and then due to a server problem at this centre since a few days I had to take the 1z0-043 (Oracle 10g:Adminstaration Workshop II) at a different NIIT centre (at South Extension) and was given another testing ID: XY0011223 (not actual). Now I've verified the exam on certview.oracle.com with the second testing ID and now I'm unable to see the details of the first two exams on pearsonvue.com. How can I verify my SQL and OCA exams on certview.oracle.com to link them with my pearsonvue account?
2. My full name is Sree Subhash K as i wanted it to be on my certificates. The name appears correctly on my SQL and OCA score reports and pearsonvue account. My OCP score Report has my name as Sree S K. Perhaps, this might be the reason for a different testing ID, and to add to my doubts, OCP(which is now on my pearsonvue account with full name) shows the name as Sree S K. Please advise how do i get the name rectified?
All the help will be greatly appreciated.

Sree

SreePearson VUE should be able to merge your Oracle Testing Id's.
See: http://www.pearsonvue.com/oracle/contact/
From what you've said with regards to the names you may prefer that AB1234567 is you're preferred choice for survival; however if this is the case you might have certview issues to resolve on survival.
( XY0011223 survival might help you have less certview issues, but their is more chance of you being stuck with a name issue).
Basically Pearson VUE will need to do the merge; if there certview registration problems certview support at oracle will hopefully help. But be aware you certview profile is managed from updates from your Pearson VUE profile.
I think its too late at night for me to (try) to explain more fully.

BI 7.0 Certification from Pearson Vue

Hello BW gurus,
I have learned BW3.5 and planning to appear for BI7.0 Certification Exam , I believe this will add weight to my Resume . Can any one explain your view about Pearson Vue . I heard that Certification exam is conducted by Pearson Vue .
1)Is this Computer based testing provider recently implemented or is it conducting BW Certification Exams from the past few years, is it necessary to appear only through Pearson Vue?
2) Is the exam from pearson vue more experience based and are based on scenarios rather than just bookish knowledge ?
3)I am also practicing some scenarios on my system, still is there any difficulty in appearing for BI7.0 from Pearson Vue ,
Your expert advise for the above questions will help me a lot in achieving my goal .
Thank you .

Certification from Pearsons VUE

Hi,
I passed exam C_TAW12_70 on 13th Jan 2011 from a Pearsons VUE center at Beaverton, Oregon. I just got a printed score sheet and nothing else.
Is it true that the certificate is sent directly to the home address by SAP? (This is what I was told by Pearsons VUE customer care).
Thanks!
Amiya

Hi Amiya,
Hope you will get Certificate on your address, you provided at the time of registration.

I got an email with subject:
Oracle Certification Has Engaged New Exam Delivery Vendor from oracle [emai id is not published|replies *AT* oracle-mail.com]
its saying
Oracle Certification Has Engaged New Exam Delivery Vendor
Beginning September 25, 2009, Oracle certification exams will be offered through a new test delivery vendor – Pearson VUE -- and will no longer be available through Prometric.
September 13 is the last day that candidates will be able to register with Prometric, although candidates may still take their exam at Prometric through September 25. Registrations for Oracle exams through Pearson VUE will begin on September 14, 2009. At that time, candidates should visit www.pearsonvue.com/oracle to find more information, register for an exam or locate a testing center in their area.
We will provide more information and a series of FAQs on the Oracle Certification Program website in the coming weeks. For additional questions or further assistance, please contact Oracle Certification at [email protected]
We are excited about this transition, and are confident that this change will improve service for Oracle Certification candidates.

Edited by: bigdelboy on 03-Sep-2009 01:46 : The CFM's answer below is of course correct. One simply has to wait until 14th september. However on positive side I myself could have booked an LPIC exam at one of 4 Testing Centres offering Pearson Vue in Kolkata so there should be little problem in getting a Oracle Certification Exam booked with Pearson Vue in Kolkata when they become available.

The exam did not start with Pearson VUE

Hi,
I registered IN Pearson VUE for exam 1Z0-007-ENU: Introduction to Oracle9i: SQL on 04th Jun 2011
from one of the Egypt - Cairo area based Exam center.
the exam did not start. The Pearson system started asking some Authorization code
which the center person doesn't know
The system In PearsonVUE.com doesn't let me reschedule or Cancel the same exam.
Please I want to try taking the exam from different center.
Thanks,

Thanks,Very similar senario to {thread:id=2231056}
Suggestions:
1) Read that thread:
2) Ensure you have an incident number from Pearson VUE.
3) I suggest don't try to rebook this yourself, Pearson VUE may be best to do it. They may need to see what the issue was with the first test and clear that down first.
Edited by: bigdelboy on Jun 5, 2011 11:10 PM
Contact Pearson via ( http://pearsonvue.com/oracle/contact/ ) or ( http://pearsonvue.com/contact/emea/customerservice/) ... and ensure they give you an incident number.
If on the telephone use ( www.pearsonvue.com/oracle/locate ) to locate alternatives test centers so they can rebook it for you easily over the phone which Pearson will often do.

Interval between Pearson VUE registration and CertView Registration

Refering to [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=316] and [https://education.oracle.com/pls/eval-eddap-dcd/ocp_interface.home] seem to indicate a lag of up to 7-10 days for information to migrate from Pearson VUE to be accessible for Certview.
As an implication for this I have counselled it may be correct to wait for up to 7/10 days after successful Pearson VUE registration for Oracle before attempting to register for Certview?
Is this delay in fact necessary or is it over-cautious ?

It will take approximately 7-10 days for data to be transferred from Pearson VUE to CertView. We hope to bring this down in the future, but currently, you should allow 7-10 days.
However, if a candidate has previously taken exams at Prometric, they can go ahead and authorize in CertView - even if they have just set up their Pearson VUE web account. However, since it will take 7-10 days for the Pearson VUE info to be reflected in CertView, they should authorize in CertView with their profile information from Prometric. If a candidate updates information at Pearson VUE, and does not authorize with CertView for 7 days, it is best to be cautious and go ahead and wait the 10 days. At this point, the information in CertView may be old or may be new, so better to wait and know that the info has been updated.
Alternatively, if a candidate has difficulty with CertView authorization and enters erroneous information 3 times, the account will be referred to our service team who will process the authorization manually and should have it sorted out in about 3 working days.

Pearson Vue 10g testing did not start - technical issues.

Hi,
I registered for the 10g DBA II exam on 28th May from one of the Toronto area based Exam center.
To my surprise, the exam did not start. The Pearson system started asking some Authentication code which the center person doesn't know. I was really upset of not being able to appear for the exam I prepared (you know the mindset of a test taker).
I started following up with the Pearson Vue Customer care, they have created an incident and so far there has been no progress on this.
The system doesn't let me reschedule or book the same exam. I want to try taking the exam from different center.
The help from PearsonVue customer care is very average, I really oracle to intervene.
Need help from the certification moderator.
Thanks,
Jay.

Jay.Its good if you have an incident number, in general you can reply and ask if they can escalate this.
(This the test center or you raise the incident, and do you have the incident number ? (if not get it) ).
There has been a weekend, and in some places it was a holiday yesterday. (Probably not canada you will tell me).
A Pearson VUE representative should be able to reschedule this for you. If you ask nicely enough they might (or might not) help with costs if you give a sob story about time wasted, money wasted, stress ....
The key work is to request to ESCALATE the incident xxxxx.
( It may be that is a test center incident and they are trying to sort the test centers issues .... you need an incident to get a re-test which may be different (but related) ).
( I once had a failed test, and they were able to reschedule it for me somehwere else in 2hrs .... (where is also failed !!!! ).
Pearson VUE will also need to be sure the problem is cleared before they reschedule you.
( In general they sort of come somewhat good in the end ... usually ).

Movement to Pearson VUE and certview from Prometric and Certmanager

This isnt so much a question as a comment ....
But I'm sometimes happy to award points.
(FYI I normally answers questions on {forum:id=459} ... and I might not revist here for a bit )
Oracle are (have?) moving to using the Pearson VUE testing vendor and using Certview rather than Cert manager as the certification reporting database:

In the next future, i would like also take the Oracle11g upgrade exam and i do not know which ID i will have to use, Sylvan ID, Pearson VUE ID???
Any usefull help is appreciated.

Simone MartucciYou need to take all exams under the same Oracle Testing Id, otherwise it is as if you tokk the exams under different people.
Ideally this would have been sortd when you registered at Peason.

More Seriously.
History for exams taken at Prometric will remain with Prometric.
History for exams taken at Pearson will remain at Pearson.
However for Oracle Exams exam and certification history for both is held on certview which is a viewport to the Oracle Certification Database.

Question about Pearson Vue registration

Hi All,
I read some of the threads here and it sounds like there were some problems merging exam history with Pearson Vue.
I'm OCP certified and I had done my exams with Prometric. I registered for a web account on the Pearson Vue website and i'm not waiting for an email. During the registration process, there was a question asking if I was certified and I said yes but the prometric ID didn't get accepted.
I'm sure a lot of people has gone through that same process...After you got your email, were you able to see your exam history?
Thanks.

Thanks.The problems occur if you take examinations under 2 different Oracle Testing Ids.
The result of this is the Oracle Certification Database see the owners as 2 different entities and if exams from both are required for a certifcation that would not be delivered.
So it is kind of important (actually near vital) your Pearson VUE account has you Oracle Testing Id. matching the Prometric Id you used in previous tests.
Now with the answers you've given you may find it gets corrected 'automatically' .... but if the 2 are different it seems to give problems downstream with the merge.
I am a bit unclear what is meant by I am not waiting for an email. Does this means you registered with Pearson VUE twice?
Now while
Patience is a virtue,
virtue makes a saint,
Saints are a football team
And I'm sure Pompey aint
is not true as Pompey have avoided liquidation via administration patience is a virtue in this.
When someone who registers with Pearson VUE who has previously tested with Prometric one of 3 things happens (sometimes because of the form):
- They register saying they have not tested with Oracle Before:
---- They then get a New Oracle Testing Id and take exams and wonder why certifications do not occur as they expect .. and eventually they get a merge. Thankyou for increasing the exam costs.
- They register with Pearson VUE, say they've tested before, enter their old Prometric Id, wait for the email saying all is sorted and they are abl to register and take exams.
---- This is fairly seamless with a 3 or 4 day delay.
- The say they've tested before but do not enter an Oracle Testing Id.
---- My understanding is registration occurs and the're Oracle Testing Id. typically is updated with the correct old Pearson VUE automatically. But I cant be sure of this. I think some people say this has happened. If this happens they are find, if it doesn't they are stuffed.
The pearson VUE history will only ever show exams taken with Pearson VUE. It does not know about Certifications, only exams.
Oracle Certview system will show exams taken with Prometric and Pearson VUE. It is derived from the Oracle Certification Database which was initialized from Prometric history. Certview knows about exams and Certifications.
Access to Certview is obtained by your Oracle SSO being account linked with your Oracle Testing Id though a Certview Profile. Certview Profiles are updated via the Pearson VUE website updating the your account which has your oracle Testing Id.
These systems are not real time linked and their are delays while batch updates occur.
Having a single Oracle Testing Id. makes all this go well. Having 2 means chaos results.
WRT certview, if you are confused watch the video: [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/11/0139.html]

The course I did to gain OCP certification in Oracle Database 11g does not appear on the courses submission list on the website of pearson vue.

The course I did to gain OCP certification in Oracle Database 11g does not appear on the courses submission list on the website of pearson vue, I sent an email to [email protected] from < email address deleted by moderator >, without an answer in 7 days since 01/28/2015, the email is below, the title of my course is in Portuguese. What should I do in this case ?
Dear Oracle.
I am sending this email because recently I passed in the exam 1Z0-053 Oracle Database 11g: Administration II, which is the last examination necessary to acquire the OCP Certification. However, in the path to the certification I need to prove that I participated in an Oracle Official Training.
Searching for the course on the pearson vue site, I have not found the course name on the list. So I am sending this email with the course information required for certification. I attended to the course in college FIAP (http://www.fiap.com.br/en/conheca-a-fiap/parcerias-estrategicas/), in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, from March/2010 to March/2011. Accessing the link above is possible to verify that the educational institution is an Oracle Partner. The title that I got was "Graduate in Oracle Database Management".
In this email I attached a copy of the FIAP Certified Course (front.jpg certificate, certificate back.jpg). I’m also sending the data from my profile in the pearson vue site (Pearson VUE - My profile.pdf), and my scores in the exams for OCP certification (1Z0-051.pdf, 1Z0-052.pdf, 1Z0-053.pdf ).
If you need any further information just let me know and I will provide.
Please acknowledge this information and grant me the OCP certification (Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Professional).
Regards.
Italo Moisés dos Santos.
Oracle Testing ID: < deleted by moderator >

Sorry, I expressed myself badly.
When I access http://www.pearsonvue.com/oracle/course/ and start submission process of the course, in the first step “Select the track for which you have completed a certification requirement” I selected the option “Oracle Database 11g Administrator OCP”, in the second step I selected “ILT = Instructor Led Training”, but when I got on the third step “Which course or requirement did you complete?” I have to choose the course name that I did, the course name that I did does not appears in that list, so I do not know which one to select, even having at the end of the form the option “Other ...(Course or requirement is not shown above. Please enter title below.)” the course name I did is in Portuguese/Brazil, the name is “MBA em gestão de banco de dados oracle” in Portuguese, which in English would look like "Graduate in Oracle Database Management".
I sent an email to [email protected] containing the information that I found necessary to obtain certification.
But if I have to do the process in the pearson vue site, should I put the course name in Portuguese or in English ?
Only the email I sent is not enough ?
Thanks for the help, and sorry for my english !

I could easily see a day or two delay before this gets updated .... and longer and go through http://www.pearsonvue.com/oracle/contact/ to raise an incident and ensure you get an incident number. Historically Pearson VUE usually tend to get these things sorted in a small number of days. In fact you may be better to raise it if it isn't fixed by late this evening.

Current issues with Pearson VUE Exams delivery

I believe new Pearson VUE software has been issued and some testing stations have been unable to delivery Oracle Exam.
I have been today been to 2 different testing centers to take 1z0-047.
Neiither was able to deliver the exam.
Some issues may be the testing centers have not been unambiguously informed of the effects of new software.
It fact this is 3 times in a row I have now been to a Pearson VUE testing center to taken an exam currently under the stewardship of Oracle (the first wasn't at the time) and on no occsaion was int delivered!!!
If there is a widespread Pearson VUE issue out there I hope it gets sorted soonest.
Meanwhile there goes a wasted morning plus more wasted time if I choose to revise for and take actually take this exam.
just having a rant - bigdelboy.

I have received information from the second test center indicating they were unable to deliver the oracle exam as they did not have latest Pearson VUE software loaded (and this required an amount of time and could not be scheduled today).
In fairness to this test center i was booked with them at short notice following the failure of the first test center to deliver the exam and they proably did not have time to fully check the requirements. (In fact top dollar for accomodating me). In fact as I was limbering up outside before entering I did a risk assessment as to what could go wrong and there was some danger of a stray golf ball from the golf course crashing into the test center room. Anyway they have been as nice as possilble and even gave me a decent badwith their logo on (I debated about sticking it over my head and jumping into fareham creek with it on), but then remembered my car was low on petrol (gas), in fact running on vapourand needed to go back to North harbour do refuel.
The orginal test center may have had a firewall issue; however their notwork engineer was at North harbourand they could not sort, so their problem may be different. The college's new testing room seemed nice. It's the second time the've failed to deliver an exam to me, perhaps its a bit too close to Portsea island for me and jinxed. They will go on red alert if i go anywhere near them again! (They are actuall very friendly with good banter, but professional as well, and i like testing there as its a positive atmosphere for me).
Anyway i am rambling like a heifer ...
More seriously can Oracle please ensure Pearson VUE has procedures in place to ensure that when an Oracle exam is booked at a testing center the center has the correct software to do so; and to flag if there is risk of an issue
While it is probably easy for Pearson VUE to blame the test center it is actually Pearson's issue not to have automated systems in place to identify when this may be an issue. I may be being unfair here as perhas this was checked at start of day but not identified as the second test was booked hastily.

Merging Prometric and Pearson VUE data in CertView?

Background: I passed one exam (SQL) for my OCA under Prometric last month, signed up for Pearson VUE last week, and passed the second exam (Fundamentals I) just today through Pearson. I should thus qualify for OCA.
I attempted to sign up for CertView using my Pearson ID (OCxxxxxx), but it was not accepted. On my third try, I switched to my Prometric ID (PRxxxxxx), and signing up was successful. I can now see my SQL exam there, but my "Oracle Certification Program ID" is the Prometric code, not OCxxxxxx, and there is no sign of the Fundamentals test.
So my question is: will this magically resolve itself if I wait the 7-10 days promised for Pearson data to migrate over, or do I need to pester somebody to manually merge the two accounts together?
Cheers,
-j.

I would hope that Oracle/Pearson VUE take that on board and takes steps to correct and find ways of reducing this happen as it is costly to correct when it does.
If Pearson goes ahead and assigns me a new ID anyway, I have no choice but to use that ID, now do I?You have a choice of not scheduling an exam until that is resolved. That may be unacceptably painful choice for some people in some circumstances. But it is probably less pain than resolving the situation later.
And you telling me to be "grateful" about Oracle's grandmotherly kindness in permitting me to waste hours groveling to support and twiddle my fingers for weeks on end while they pass the buck before they fix their own mistakes is pretty darn rich.Duplicate Oracle Testing Id's (or Prometric Id's) as they used to be have been a problem for some time [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2008/09/]. There was a real push to get people to get this resolved before moving to Pearson VUE [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=312#1] (My Account - I discovered that I have duplicate Prometric records. How can I get these merged?). While your case has arisen accidenly there appears to be some indications from the OCP Team is appeared to them people were recklessly obtaining mulitple Testing Id's and then complaining about not receiving a certificate. In fact I am almost certain I recall a comment that exams taken under different Id's was the single biggest cause of missing certficates. I suspect many people were simply losing there original Prometric Registrations, and rather than recovering them simply taking creating a new registration and taking an exam on a new Id and then effectively having go through the merge process with support effort needed by Oracle and Prometric. One could understand considering if a charge would reduce this group. I suspect others unwittingly acquired a duplicate Prometric Id. by for instance an online exam.
With the recent issue of Certview it may arguably be easier for people to realise there is an issue here, especially if Oracle changed procedures urging people registering with Person VUe who have exisiting exams to check their Oracle Testing Id is consistent. However this would not have been possilbe for you.
Please remember the Certification forum Moderator, who also happens to be the Certification Programme Manager, may take your comments in a different light, though over the course of a few months I do believe they genuinely do try to help people (and yes I think they tear their hair out sometimes at their own systems!).
