LINUX OCA 1Z0-403 prerequisits

Question

Hello all
I plan to take the Linux OCA certification.
I already have an LPIC-2 and RHCT.
What do I need to do besides booking and passing the exam?
I see that Oracle has the 1Z0-402 prerequisit but I am not obliged to take it.
How does the process work with Oracle?
I have no experience with Oracle products or with Oracle certification processes?
I find the guidelines on Oracle's website messy and they address more the Oracle DBA certifications.
Has anybody taken this process or can give me any help?
Regards

RegardsWhat you need to do is apply for a 1z0-402 waiver.
The details are here : [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=149]
By the way I am not an authorative Oracle source.
You have arrived in the middle of a period of transition from Prometric to Pearson VUE. You should do all things Oracle in relatation to Pearson VUE ... do not following any guidelines relating to Prometric.
0) I am assuming you have never had an Oracle Testing ID (Promteric Number) in relation to any Oracle Exam.
---- Having Duplicate Oracle Testing numbers is a pain:
1) Get an Oracle Testing Id from Pearson VUE.

How do I register for an exam?
[http://pearsonvue.com/obtainlogin] { may be different if yo already have Pearosn VUE}
This will get you a Oracle Testing ID. THIS WILL STAY WITH YOU FOR LIFE - DO NOT LOSE IT OR GET DUPLICATES
2) Fax (or email) a copy of you certificate to [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=149]
... Your Oracle Testing ID will be useful here .... however exceptionally it is possilbe they cant accept it until you've taken an exam.
3) In terms of the Hands on course procedure that is currently suspended until 28th september or so due to the transiation
See [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=312#2] : How do I sumbit the Hands On Course Requirement Form at Pearson VUE? - which essentially says procedure will be published on 28th september when Hands on Course submission re-opens....
Hope this is of some guidance .....
