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:

Then, i decided to log a SR, SR Number=23552675 asking for help and information about my issue, but till now i did not receive any answer.
I do not know why my OCP data are not present on certview site.
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.
Thanks and Regards
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.

Java Certification Exams and Their Move to Pearson VUE

You may be aware that Oracle recently migrated all Sun-branded certification exams from Prometric to Pearson VUE. Here are answers to some frequently-asked questions that we've been getting recently: http://bit.ly/ORC-0596

I have the same issue, I purchased 3 exam packs from Prometric, when the new year started I was ok let's get to work, tired to schedule my first test, 70-247 I could not schedule no more, PearsonVue informed me that these vouchers are invalid for 3 tests
only for one, I went back and forth between Prometric, PearsonVue & Microsoft, Microsoft decided to take over case, but it has been since the end of the year and now we are in Feb. 2015 issue is still not resolved is it soooo hard to look at past records
and just issue single vouchers for the tests I purchased, do not know I will call them again this week, if it is not resolved I guess I will try Social Media or just cave in and ask for a refund, in which I do not want to I have worked hard studied hard, but
calling and going back and forth without no resolution is just a total was of time, I am not made of money at all.........

Pearson Vue and Second Shots

You may know that MicroSoft is having a Second Shot offer from Jan 5 - May 2015. I paid for an exam covered by this program on Jan 5. I failed it on Jan 12, not by a lot but enough to fail. My Second Shot is not showing up in microsoft.com\learning like
it should. Some of the people at Pearson Vue don't even know what a Second Shot is.
Any suggestions folks? Is there someone at MS that I report this to?
Ben JohnsonWY

Have you tried this?
How do I get my free retake?
When you register to take an MCP exam between 5 January 2015 and 31 May 2015, you become eligible for a free retake if you don’t pass it. You have 30 days from the date you took the initial exam to schedule a retake. To schedule your retake, sign
in, select your exam from the exam list and click Schedule
now for free.

Pearson Vue and CLD

Idle thoughts
I wonder why NI doesn't try to partner with Pearson Vue for the CLD itself, thus eliminating the need to find and travel to a proctor? I guess it would require that the Pearson Vue location have a reasonably good computer, running a clean, latest copy of LabVIEW, but other than that I don't see what other issues there would be. Pearson Vue has a pretty good reputation about maintaining testing integrity.
Jim Haas

I'm right there with you. I let mine lapse because I was not using LabVIEW. Now I am both rusty and un-documented (so to speak) but may soon need to look for LabVIEW work.
I easily passed the CLAD and am starting to practice for the CLD again, but keeping it would have been far easier.
As for testing at PV. I think it could be done and it would make sense, but it would take more effort on the part of PV and NI than it might be worth.
Good luck with your test.

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 ).

Pearson vue test center in kolkata

sir
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.

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.

Huh? As I already said, I entered my Prometric code when signing up for Pearson. I suspect as mentioned before you did not use the form correctly .... but I have an extremely strong suspicion that the dialogue sequence makes this very easy to happen.
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!).

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.

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.
Regards,
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.

Decrepencies between beta end date and Pearson VUE Booking range.

Beta's are often extended, sometimes last minute, and Pearson VUE bookable dates can differ from the oracle beta exam website due to update delays.
For one or more betas there however currently seems to be a problem discrepency:
Refs:
Service Request Number: 497386-622210023 & 497386-622796279

Last minute extensions to beta are quite normal; late websites updates are quite normal.
They always wait until the very last minute to extend because people hold off to the end of the beta to schedule their exams to maximize study time. I know that *I* do it. If they extend too early, people will simply wait that much longer to take the exam. Since the reason they extend is because enough people haven't taken the exam, it's a vicious cycle.
A few weeks ago I took 1Z0-432 -- Oracle Real Application Clusters 12c Essentials. I'd gotten caught up in other projects and really wasn't ready for it, but I had a voucher for the beta. I waited until three days before the end before scheduling to see if there would be a last-minute extension. Scheduled (and took) the exam the second to last day before the end... and then they extended it by three weeks the next day. *sigh* I could have used that study time.

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.
