Remember! You Must Opt-In to Receive Oracle Certification E-Magazine

If you haven't done it yet, be sure and [opt-in for Oracle Certification communications|http://bit.ly/EI1Do] so you can get the E-Magazine.

Sorry I'm a little late coming into the conversation. I came across this thread because of a blog that hit my google news this morning which linked here.
I find it interesting that you feel increasing the cost of the exams will effectively reduce the number of cheaters to the point where the value of the certifications would be increased.
I'm sure it may help minutely, because anytime you increase limitations you're going to decrease participation, but people that have money cheat too. What you're proposing will hinder the ability of anyone that wouldn't be able to afford the cost of the exams, honest people included.
The answer to reducing the number of cheaters is to increase the awareness in the community. Let the industry know that Oracle doesn't mess around when it comes to cheating. Information like what I have listed here (http://www.certguard.com/decertified.asp) is helping to do that in the Microsoft communities.
If anyone from the Oracle Certification Team would like to contact me, please do. My email address is in my profile.

Results Of The Oracle Certification 2009 Salary Survey

!http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/0116.jpg!
*The results of the Oracle Certification Program's 2009 Salary Survey, which was administered via the Internet earlier this year have been released.*Responses from Oracle Certification E-Magazine subscribers, Oracle Certified individuals, and visitors to the Oracle Certification Blog are included in the survey results - with participants from every demographic region worldwide.
 Of the 2,337 individuals who responded to the survey, 95% are employed either full- or part-time and reported that those who are Oracle certified typically earn an average salary that is $10K higher than candidates who are not certified.
 For full details, visit Oracle Certification 2009 Salary Survey Results.

Am I the only one who doesn't see any figures (tried in FF & IE). Selecting from the LOV makes the page load but selecting an option e.g. regional salary / experience doesn't show anything.
Edit: Europe doesn't show actually.

Good news.

Preview: Oracle Certification 2009 Salary Survey Results

!http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/0116.jpg!
Thanks to everyone who participated in our salary survey. We are busy working to compile, summarize and publish the results. The information will be available through the Oracle certification website and I’ll let you know through the Oracle Certification Blog when it is ready.
In the meantime however, I'd like to share some pre-release details that are interesting:
<ol>
<li>Certified professionals earn over 13% more than non-certified counterparts.</li>
<li>Years of experience in a role makes a big difference in overall compensation.</li>
<li>Pay between various job roles (architect, developer, administrator) can be markedly different.</li>
<li>Professionals who have earned more than one Oracle certification earn more than those hold one, and typically - the more certifications that you hold, the more likely you are to earn more.</li>
</ol>
I’ll discuss specific results in more detail when the salary survey results become available, and give my perspective on what it means to certification-holders and those considering certification. 
I look forward to your comments and thoughts!

1Z0-051 Oracle Certification - OCA

Hi. I am in a fix and so need your help.
I am planning to give 1Z0-051 Oracle Certification exam(Oracle Database 11g- SQL fundamentals). However, I will be unable to give my 1Z0-052 exam(Oracle Database 11g- Administration-I) at this time. So, if I give only 1Z0-051 exam, then will it carry some weightage in my resume? Also, if I pass the 1Z0-051 exam, then how should I put it in my resume? That I am a Oracle Certified individual?

That I am a Oracle Certified individual?If you pass the 1z0-051 you may put that in your resumé.
(If you need proof of this copy the report from the test center ... you cannot really get from of this from Oracle. Certview will publish certifcations, not exam passes). If you take this online there is no proof it was you you actually took the exam).
However you are not Oracle certified and must not put that in your resume ... you may only put it in your resumé when you have proof from Oracle you have been awarded a Certification.
The weight of this exam pass, and indeed any exam pass or certification, can depend on the reader(s) of the resumé; and the nature of job you are applying for; and the strength of the other candidates for the job. Suppose an employer was looking for CV's for a DBA job. Assuming the HR/agencies let the CV's through they might get (in practice a higher number of DBA OCPs might be expected):
Person with a 1z0-051 pass and degree and no experience.
5 with 9i DBA OCP, most with MA degrees, with no experience
10g DBA OCA obtained 3 years ago with no experience.
Apparently experienced DBA with no formal qualifications and no degree.
Now the first and last candidates have a high probability of being what they say they are, but the first wuld be no good if an experienced DBA was needed. It would be necessary at interview to be careful to check the others had the experience level claimed due to certifications being obtained though cheating and fraud. Its also worth noting DBA OCA does not cover backups / restores in depth.
However if what was needed was someone to query database results as a result of some tests the first candidate might acutally be the most suitable .. assuming he has studied the 1z0-051 carefully. The 10g OCA might not have done SQL ... the experienced DBA might feel that was not a suitable job for him, and the 9i DBA OCPs may have rushed (or cheated) their way through 1z0-007 as quickly as possible and would not be interested / capablle of this work.
(Please note this article is biased against 9i DBA OCP ... at one point my understanding is there was a particularly high level of cheating/fraud against this certification and some poor training from some WDP institutions ... which is a pity for those achieving the certification through due work and good training).

Your statements may be ambiguous, I cannot be sure what you mean by 'fundamentals exams'.
There is a developer track for those interested in PL/SQL developer, is that what you are looking for?

I've now read on your subject what you meant by fundamentals +(if all else fails read the original posters question)+.. ie 9i DBA OCA and 9i DBA OCP .... no for you forget those and and follow the link to the Pl/SQL developer track ....
Edited by: bigdelboy on 09-Aug-2009 16:28
Exam order is not important, but you dont get certificates unless pre-requisites all met. The is an interesting cheap beta exam arround at present if you are up for it ... 1z0-144

Can I get job after doing Oracle certification at this age?

Hi
I am 37 yrs old man from Calcutta,India. I am presently jobless for 3 years now .I am a BSc(PCM) . I was earlier working as a salesman in a sales based company. I have no experience in IT though I have done lots of IT courses. Can I get job after doing Oracle certification at this age?
Please advice.
Regards

Can I get job after doing Oracle certification at this age?
Can you get a job if you become certified in Oracle? Certainly!
Will you get a job if you become certified in Oracle? Who knows?
Professional certifications are not magic wands. You cannot wave a certificate and cause employers to come running to hire you. Certifications can help you to learn some of the skills required to administer Oracle, or develop in Oracle, or use various Oracle software products. There are companies that need people with this knowledge. I have written a number of articles about the topic:
Oracle Certification Prep: What is Certification?
Oracle Certification Prep: Oracle Certified but not Oracle Employed
Oracle Certification Prep: I know nothing about Oracle... but I want to be a DBA.
