The Oracle Java Technology Certification Track and the jCertInitiative

1February 2001 — Oracle Certified Solution Developer and Enterprise Developer Candidate Guide

1 The Oracle Java Technology Certification Track and the jCertInitiative

The jCert Initiative

Java has revolutionized the develop-ment and deployment of enterpriseand internet applications and is theunderlying platform for e-business.Knowledge of Java is essential for serious enterprise database application developers, and with the integration of Java across all tiers ofthe Oracle platform, it has estab-lished itself as a core skill for enter-prise database administrators, net-work administrators, Web masters, and technical consultants.

Oracle University has recognized the need to establish and promoteindustry standards for knowledge and skill levels of enterprise Javadevelopers by supporting the multivendor jCert Initiative. TheInitiative gives Java professionals theability to further their careers byobtaining an industry recognized cre-dential from participating companies.Candidates for Java certification havethe flexibility to obtain a general cre-dential for Java programming fromSun as well as vendor-specific creden-tials for integrated Java development.

For more information about the jCertInitiative, visit http://www.jcert.org.

The Oracle Java Technology

Certification Track

The certification track comprises fivetests that cover three progressive skilllevels:

1. Sun Certified Programmer

2. Certified Solution Developer

3. Certified Enterprise Developer

Candidates may take the tests in anyorder, but they must be certified ineach level before they can be awardedtheir certification for the next level.The tests required at each skill level,whether common or vendor-specific, are recognized as prerequisites by all of the companiesparticipating in the jCert Initiative.

Level 1: Sun Certified Programmer for

the Java 2 Platform

To complete Level 1, candidates must demonstrate fundamental skillsin the Java programming language. A common exam entitled SunCertified Programmer for the Java 2Platform is required for this level.Upon completion of this exam, candidates will have the designationof Sun Certified Programmer for theJava 2 Platform.

Level 2: Oracle Certified Solution

Developer - JDeveloper

To complete Level 2 candidates must pass a a common exam, Object-Oriented Analysis and Design withUML and an Oracle specific exam,Oracle JDeveloper: Develop DatabaseApplications with Java.

Candidates who complete this level will have the designation of Oracle Certified SolutionDeveloper - JDeveloper. Candidatesmay choose to become certified onJDeveloper Rel. 2, JDeveloper Rel. 3,or both.

Level 3: Oracle Certified Enterprise

Developer

To complete Level 3 candidates mustpass a common exam, EnterpriseConnectivity with Java Technology,and a vendor-specific exam,Enterprise Development on theOracle Platform. Candidates whocomplete this level will have the designation of Oracle CertifiedEnterprise Developer.


The Oracle Java Technology Certification Track

The jCert Initiative recognizes three levels of certification requiring five tests. The diagram shows the recommended path for Oracledevelopers. Exams may be taken in any order, but candidates must complete each level of certification before progressing to the next.Candidates are not required to obtain their Level 2 and 3 certifications through the same vendor. You may obtain Level 2 certifica-tion through another jCert Initiative participant and still qualify for the Oracle Level 3 credential. Refer to Section 5 of this guidefor details on obtaining cross-recognition.

* The Sun Certified Programmer (JDK 1.1) exam will be accepted until March 31, 2001.

2The Benefits of Oracle Certification

The demand for professionals ininformation technology (IT) is high,and the competition for jobs isintense. Individuals, experienced ornew to the profession, need to knowwhat skills make them attractive toemployers. Employers look for waysto distinguish employees andprospective employees who have thesolid foundation of skills needed foreffective performance.

The Oracle Certified Professional(OCP) Program helps the IT industry make these distinctions byestablishing a standard of competencein specific job roles. An OracleCertification is a valuable, industry-recognized credential that signifies aproven level of knowledge and ability.

Benefits to the Technical Professional

The Oracle Certified ProfessionalProgram can give you a distinctadvantage. An OCP Certificationdemonstrates that you have a solidunderstanding of a job role and theOracle products used in that role.Being an Oracle Certified Professionalcan help raise your visibility andincrease your access to the industry’smost challenging opportunities.

OCPs have testified to the value ofOracle Certification1:

■ 97% said they have benefited from certification

■ 89% said they gained more confidence in their Oracle expertise after becoming certified

■ 96% would recommend the program to a professional colleague

Benefits to the IT Employer

The Oracle Certified ProfessionalProgram is also valuable to hiringmanagers who want to distinguishamong candidates for critical IT positions. For companies that sendemployees through annual IT training,certification ensures a return on thetraining investment by validating theknowledge and understanding gainedin training sessions. Companies canalso combine certification with anemployee development program to enhance employee loyalty and performance on the job.

Hiring certified professionals has adirect impact on a company’s bottomline, as these conclusions from aresearch study by International DataCorporation2 suggest:

■ Certified professionals handled40% more support calls per person,per day, than uncertified staff.

■ Companies that advocated certification reported 49% lessdowntime than those that did not.

■ For the majority of companies surveyed, the savings fromincreased effectiveness paid thecosts of certification in fewer than nine months.
