Order of Exams for OCA 11g

Hi everyone,
I'm studying for the OCA11g and currently almost finished studying for 1Z0-052. I was told today that maybe the SQL exam needed to be passed before the admin exam and wanted to know if this was true or not...... so my question is does SQL come before the ADMIN exam or can i take the 1z0-052(admin) before 1z0-051(sql)??
Thanks in advance

Hussein,
Thank you very much for the clarification. I started to panic when i heard this little info today, considering i was 90% finished studying for the ADMIN exam. This is wonderful news. Thanks.

Hi Raghavendra, welcome to the forum!
I suggest you remove you email from your post to avoid recieveing undesired emails.
There are two OCA paths, OCA Developer or OCA DBA.
For both paths you need to take one of the following SQL exams:
1z0-007 Introduction to Oracle9i SQL (this is an outdated exam)
or
1z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Expert (more advanced exam recommended for developers/dbas with SQL experience)
or
1z0-051 Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I (recommended for beginners or people with average experience in SQL)
After passing one of these exams, if you want to take the OCA DBA path you need to do the:
1z0-052 Administration I exam
After passing one of the SQL exams, if you want to take the OCA Developer path you need one of the:
1z0-147 Program with PL/SQL (outdated exam)
or
1z0-144 Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL (more actual exam, recommended)

Using common exam to achieve certification for OCA ( Developer + DBA )

Hi,
i have given a Oracle 9i : Introduction to Oracle 9i ( 1Z0-007) exam which is one of the two mandatory exams for OCA ( Developer ) . So my questions is .. once i complete my OCA ( Developer ) can i directly give (1Z0-031) to get an OCA (Dba) Certification or i would have to give the exam again ?
Thanx,
Abhishek

The exam (1z0-007) is a prerequisite exam for OCA (Developer or DBA Track). In your case, you have already passed the 1z0-007 exam, so you are very much eligible for writing the exam (1z0-031) without taking the exam (1z0-007) again to fulfill the prerequisite for the OCA – DBA track exams. Moreover, candidates may not retake a passed exam at any time. But, while registering for 1z0-031 exam, you have to show your passing details of the exam 1z0-007 to the parametric center.
Best of luck.

Sabdar Syed

OCA 11g certification and version 12c release

Hello, I have a doubt.
I'm currently studying for OCA 11g version ( 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052 ) with the release of 12c can I still take the exam for 11g ?.
I'm new in Oracle's world, In Microsoft certifications you can take exams for the current release of a product and also for the previoss version.
Thanks !.
Regards.

Yes, you can still do the 11g exams . In fact the 12c 1Z0-062 exam is still beta and not production.

OCA 11g vs OCA 10g

I have the intention to pursue OCA but I am not sure if it would be worth it to try OCA 10g or maybe try OCA11g right away. Any help would be appreciated. Is there any material already for OCA 11g that is recommended.
Cheers

>> Hey man where i can i get free resources for preparing for 10g or 11g OCP.your help will be really appreciated
For your preparation tey the Student Guides/ILT (Instructor Led Training) Materials, which are developed by Oracle. These course materials are given to the students/candidates those who undergo the respective and correspondent courses from Oracle University/Any authorized Oracle Center. In general, all questions are asked in the exams from these materials topics. So, these ILTs are handy in preparing and passing the exams.
For sure no books or materilas are availble on the net for free to prepare for OCA/OCP Exams.
Only the free documents available place is.

Exams to take for DB 11g OCA

I'm still new to Oracle. In fact I''ve just been hired to handle Oracle E-Business Suite along with the Oracle Database 10g. I'm quite interested in taking certification in 11g OCA. And maybe OCP in the next 2-3 years. I read the prereq for OCA is 1Z0-051 - SQL Fundamentals 1 for 11g and 1Z0-052 - DB Admin I. I'm quite confident with my SQL syntax since I've been working with SQL for 2.5 years in my previous employment. So I'm thinking about taking the SQL Fundamentals I first, then take training for 1Z0-052, practice DB Admin for a year then taking the 1Z0-052 exam.
1. Is this doable?
2. Is it possible that in one year period, the prereq for 11g OCA could change? (the prereq exams for 11g OCA is changed to 1Z0-047 - SQL Expert + 1Z0-052) and thus renderring my 1Z0-051 exam worthless?
3. Where can I download Self test for exam preparation? Free would be preferrable, because the test I found cost about US99. I'm assuming this is allowed because I read many threads that's asking basically the same thing and are considered cheating.
Thanks.

(the prereq exams for 11g OCA is changed to 1Z0-047 - SQL Expert + 1Z0-052) and thus renderring my 1Z0-051 exam worthless?Both exams (1z0-047 & 1z0-051) will be sufficient in as a pre-req exam, in addition to this u need to write 1z0-052 to become *11g OCA*. I dont think the pre-req for 11g OCA wil change again.
. Where can I download Self test for exam preparation? Free would be preferrable, because the test I found cost about US99.

Oca 11g database certification for application developer

do i need oca 9i certification for getting 11g database certification for application developer not for DBA

user9334987 wrote:
some of my friend told me that i have to give 9i oca exams (one sql and one is for plsql) to appear for 11g oca. it means i will be eligible for 11g oca only after passing oca 9i is it true. i have seen your post given by you but it doesnot contain the answer of above question.Often I see people you say my friend say this .... my friends say that ... so often the friend is wrong. [http://www.oracle.com/education/certification] is authorative. Well usually.
The problems start when people are imprecise about the certification they are seeking ... the list is here ....
[http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=141]
If you notice there is no mention of '11g oca' or '9i oca' in the list.
There is mention of:
- Oracle 11g DBA OCA
- Oracle9i DBA OCA
- Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA
And one can drill down links to see the requirements for these certifcations:
for example for a - Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA a pass in one of (1z0-007 or 1z0-047 or 1z0-051 (or 1z0-001) ) plus a pass in one of (1z0-144 or 1z0-147) is required.
There is a post from mediaguy (that goes to a blog that is currently unavailable at the time of this post ... but will proably be fixed in a day or two) that I feel has a chance of being relevant also (note i have not read it yet). {thread:id=1049842}

OCA for 10g ------- 11g OCP?

So, I just passed my OCA exam for 10g, but my question now is what do I do about the OCP? Do I take the OCP exam for 11g, or 10g? I know they were changing the format as of December 1st. Anyone have any idea? Thank you.

You need to complete Oracle 10g OCP DBA then you can upgrade to 11g OCP DBA (by passing 1Z0-050, Oracle Database 11g: New Features for Administrators).

Query on OCA 11g

Hi,
I wanted to know that, to complete OCA 11g certification Oracle recommends
Oracle Database: SQL Fundamentals I and Oracle Database 11g: Administration Workshop I trainings.
Is it necessary to take above trainings?
Or can I pass this exam by self study?
I am a fresher please do the needful.

You do not have to complete any training in order to become an Oracle 11G OCA.
Pass a SQL exam (normally 1Z0-051) and the Admin 1 exam (1Z0-052) and you will be granted the certification.

MartinFrom a global viewpoint there is no such thing as the OCA exam , though for an individual focused on a particular exam for a particular OCA there may be such a a default.
There are many different exams associated with the many different OCA certifications.
For some it is suitable, for some it is not.
For the exams 1z0-051 and 1z0-144 this edition would generally be suitable .... for 1z0-052 it most probably would not, and for 1z0-402 and 1z0-403 it would be useless!!

OCA 10g OCA 11g ?

I gained my OCA 10g certification in 2007, is there such a thing as an upgrade exam from OCA 10g > OCA 11g, or do I have to start the 11g track from scratch ?

However IMHO if you view the topics for 10g OCA and 11g OCA you will see about 75%+ commonality so its not like you have to start from scratch, more like 2/3 to 3/4 the way up the hill.
If your final target is 11g OCP then you are obviously aware you could go 1z0-043 + 1z0-050 or 1z0-052 + 1z0-053 ..... with a hands on course being required either way. I don't wish to advise on which route would suit you best.
