Oracle Applications 11i Certification
Oracle Applications 11i Certification
As most of you would have noticed Oracle has recently revived its e business suite certification program. The new program I feel is more industry relevant and practical when compared to the previous Oracle Applications 11 certification.
The current Oracle E Business Suite 11i Certification comes in three tracks
- Oracle E-Business 11i Financials
- Oracle E-Business 11i Supply Chain
- Oracle E-Business 11i Advanced Technology
Successful completion of any of these tracks will earn you a Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) Certificate on the chosen track.
The first two tracks are aimed at the functional area within Oracle Applications. The third one Oracle 11i Applications Technology Certified Professional Administrator is tailor made for the Oracle Applications DBA. This being an Oracle Applications DBA Blog I will limit my current post only to this certification track. The introduction of this track gives no excuse to Oracle Applications DBA's not be an OCP. :). Almost all of these exams are still available in beta release which means it will not have a pre defined passing score or the number of question. but roughly you could expect anything between 170 - 200 questions to be attempted in a three hour time duration.
Applications Technology Administrator OCP
To earn an OCP as an Applications Technology Administrator 11i you would need to successfully complete the following three exams and hands on course requirement.
Implement Oracle Workflow 11i (Exam Number:1Z0-231)
This exam is based on Oracle Workflow version 2.6.
A complete list of the exam topics and oracle recommended course can be found here.
Oracle 11i System Administration (Exam Number:1Z1-232)
This exam is based on the System Administration Duties of a DBA on Oracle Applications version 11.5.10.
A complete list of the exam topics and oracle recommended course can be found here.
11i Install Patch and Maintain Oracle Applications Ed 5.1 (Exam Number: 1Z1-233)
This exam focuses on the backend duties of the with respect to patching cloning and adadmin utilities on Oracle Application 11.5.10.
A complete list of the exam topics and oracle recommended course can be found here.
Oracle E-Business 11i Hands-On Course Requirement
Apart from passing the above three exams it is also required to meet the Hands-On Course Requirement. This i assume might make some of frown :) but the good news is that till May 2007 this requirement is waived by filling a Hands-on Requirement Waiver Form
If however you are not able to fulfill the waiver requirements you must attend one of the prescribed courses to be able to complete the requirement.
List of course that satisfy the Hands On Course requirement can be found here.

All,Please note that the OCP 11I Exams 1Z1-232 and 1Z1-233 have their last dates passed.
The Oracle Website when you click on the Exam Register---it says valid from Aug 31 2006 to Oct 31 2006
I never knew that it was soo soon finished.
Does anyone know when the corresponding 1Z0-232 and 1Z0-233 (Non -beta ) exams shall start
If anyone is in USA/UK please call up and try understanding and post here
In India you can always get the phone number as busy "always busy"

Sam,
I am an IT Recruiter in Dallas, Texas looking for an Oracle Apps DBA with eBusiness Suite. Your blog was identified in a search using Copernic. If I read this article correctly are there different modules to ebusiness? I was thinking eBusiness was a new module in Oracle Apps...
I appreciate your comments and this article helped educate me as a non technical person recruiting Technical expertise - thanks
If you know someone open to a six month contract in Dallas, tell them to contact me - tollfree # is 877-587-2110.
