OCA/OCP Certification test prep

Need reccommendations for OCA/OCP test prep. White pages, software, books etc.
Thanks in advance.

You may choose whatever test preparation you feel more comfortable with. But I suggest you to setup a practical test environment where you can test all features according to the topic guide provided by oracle at the Oracle Certification site, you can find it by following the certification link at http://education.oracle.com . Besides I suggest you to document each topic with the official documentation manuals from oracle.

Should I go for Oracle 10g OCA/OCP or 11g OCA/OCP Certification?

Hi all,
I am lil bit confuse to decide about my oracle core dba certification.
Please help me to know, as per the present requirements of the business organizations.
***Should I go for Oracle 10g OCA/OCP or 11g OCA/OCP Certification?***
Hope u guys answer me earliest.
Thanks & Regards,

Most likely, it doesn't matter too much. I doubt that most employers are terribly concerned with what recent version of Oracle you have a certification on.
That said, if it matters
- What does your organization use? What are their plans to upgrade? If your company still uses 9.2 primarily and has plans to upgrade to 10.2 this year, you're probably better off with a 10g certification. If your company is already running mostly 11.2, you're probably better off with an 11g certification.
- What do most employers in your particular part of the world tend to use? What do job postings in your particular part of the world generally list?

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?

Professional development - OCA/OCP

Hello
I'm looking at doing my OCA/OCP certifications and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations or suggestions for good training companies to do them with in the UK?
I've had a look at QA Training, and they seem to be pretty good, and I know there's the oracle university.
I just want to make sure I do them with a reputable firm if it's not oracle themselves...
Cheers
David

The OCP Oracle 10g New Features for Administrators Study Guide, SBEX
has 8 Chapters of instruction, 25 questions / chapter, and 2 practice tests. Very helpful. SBEX box self study guides are a favorite of OCP test takers.

Guys i did my OCA Certification. KIndly suggest me as what i should do now for a good job in india beside completing OCP certification?

I want to work and i need to know what are the scopes & what i should do to get a good job which has further growth and what courses can i do beside OCP certification. I am confused so kindly help me. Also, i completed my OCA 6 months before does it effect in getting jobs?

As Phillippe indicates -- which OCA you mean makes a big difference. My guess is you are referring to the DBA OCP, but I could be wrong. I have written a number of articles targeted to people looking to start their Oracle career. Links to four of them are below:

9i OCA to 10g OCP Certification

Hi,
I am an OCA (Oracle 9i). I have passed my first exam on 01st july 2002 of IZO-001 and Fundemantals 1 in 2004. I am planning to move towards 10g and complete my OCP certification. I have few questions related to this.
1. I have to appear in Admin1 and Admin 2 module of 10G to complete my OCP cerftification for 10g. Is this true?
2. Do I need to take any course from oracle university in order to get certificate from oracle? As I read from website that there is an exemption for the applicants who have passed their first test before 01st September 2002. Please clear this point as I have passed my first exam before 01st september 2002.
I shall be really thankful to you for your quick and favorable response.

Please clear this point as I have passed my first exam before 01st september 2002.I haven't seen such information on Certification page at oracle.com If anyone have seen, please let me know. AFAIK you need to take one Oracle University course to be OCP
I shall be really thankful to you for your quick and favorable response.Please visit Oracle Certification page for more information

With regards to the hands on course exemption ......
My understanding is ...
- Is that at least previously people who had taken a (relevant) certification exam prior to 2002 were exempt from the 9i DBA OCP hands on course.
- (I have now found the relevant page below):
- However my understanding is they are not exempt from the 10g DBA OCP hands on (so to obtain 10g DBA OCP without a hands on course they would need to go via 9i DBA OCP first).
- So my understanding is to obtain a 10g DBA OCP (given a success with 1z0-001 prior to 2002) you would either:
1) Take 1z0-032 and 1z0-033 (and submit a 9i DBA OCP hands on course exemption for exam pass prior to 2002)
- Then as a 9i DBA OCP take the exams required to be 10g DBA OCP (eg 1z0-040 (or 1z0-042 + 1z0-043) )
2) Pass 1z0-042 to 10g DBA OCA
pass 1z0-043 and submit appropriate hands-on-course exemption for 9i DBA OCP.
Reference:
The page [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=99#1] indicates how to submit a hands on course exemption for 9i DBA OCP. I recommend you do this immediately to confirm your position (I cant see any harm in doing this).
------ I also recommend you register on Certview to confirm your exmption has been accepted.
Please note this is my best understanding .... th Certification Forum Moderator may choose to comment or you may wish to confirm with ocpexam_ww. However I my reading of the above reference under the section Candidates who are exempt from the Oracle9i hands-on course requirement because they took their first exam on or before September 1, 2002 seems to be clear enough.

How to get Oracle 11g OCA, OCM, OCP certification?

Hi,
This is my first post! Please pardon my ignorance. I want to get Oracle 11g OCA, OCM, OCP certifications done. How do I go about it? How much does it cost to get these certifications? Could you please suggest a website/url where I can get more information about it.
Thank you,
Tracy

The Oracle Certification Program site should answer your questions.
Assuming you are trying to get certified on the DBA track (there are many different certification tracks, I'm assuming when you say 11g that you mean to indicate that you're interested in the DBA track), you can see the progression of the exams and the options you have on this page.

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 !

Hints and tips about OCP certification 10g

Hi,
in a few weeks I will have my certification test for OCP Oracle 10g.
For this I'm interested in hints and tips for the test. Did somebody completed this test (not the upgrade one) and could tell me please the main topic, some tips for best preparation and so on? Are the questions only "multiple choice" or are there also "fill-in" questions?
Thank you in advance
Dana

Hi Dana
It's all multiple choice. If you are going for OCP I assume you will be writing 10g DBA 2. The following link has exam details like passing score, points per chapter, etc.

Which version OCA,OCP Exam is Better Right now,10g or 11g??

Hello sir,
I am Hardik Jethava,I am from India.
I want to know which Oracle version OCA and OCP certification is better to pursue according to market trend whether it is better to pursue for 10g or 11g?
Please help someone guide me.
So,that i can start preparation for that exams.

I want to know which Oracle version OCA and OCP certification is better to pursue according to market trend whether it is better to pursue for 10g or 11g?IMHO, 11g is better. taking latest release certification will be helpful to you( for your career). so take OCA & OCP of 11g(only one exam).
also learn 10g features.
if you would like to do 10g, first take 10g OCA and OCP certification then you can upgrade your certification to 11g.
regards,

OCA/OCP PL/SQL developer
