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.

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.
