1. Visit the certification homepage if in the U.S.

2. For certification of databases you would go here

Now it has been a while since I went out to the certification pages of Oracle but I sort of like what Oracle has done here. They have segregated certification nicely by versions (9i, 10g, & 11g) and also by program (normal, expert, & special).

3. Assuming you have not received any other certifications for database administration and you want to get the latest and greatest (11g), you would then have to choose between three categories (Associate, Professional, & Master). Regardless of what you choose you will end up on this page that has all three nicely displayed.

Now this is where some confusion comes into play. In the past there use to be a choice, you could either get OCA certified or OCP certified and they had slightly different requirements if I remember correctly. Anyway that is NOT the way it works now.

Now you HAVE to get OCA certified, then OCP certified, and then if you want more punishment get your Masters (OCM). The last URL I gave clearly shows (if you look) that:

- For OCA you need a SQL exam + Oracle Database Administration I
- For OCP you need OCA + 1 course training + Oracle Administration II + Hands on course requirement

well, well, This can be semi-confusing if you have never done any certification before. The biggest question is to know where to find accurate information. As it was once said..."There is no place like home". And Oracle is the place to go home to. So...

1. Visit the certification homepage if in the U.S.

As a note, none of the OCM links are active. SO who knows what they might consist of. :)
