Some correction.. Please... >>>>> and only showed that you had taken all of the courses within a specific track. and only showed that you had paid for all the courses within a specific track and were present for 1st and the last day of the courses.
( 1st Day : to make sure your name was spelled correctly. Last Day: to get your Certificate/Diploma and Instructor's signature. ) - Kirti -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 9:05 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L To be honest, I think this is actually lowering the bar. Oracle finally realized that the OCP has no value to an organization unless you induce the word "Master". This has been taken from their former certification, the Oracle Master's Certification, which was worthless and only showed that you had taken all of the courses within a specific track. Oracle is simply acting like any other software vendor and locating new ways of generating revenue. Thank You Stephen P.

And in an October survey from *crn.com on Certification, 58% of respondents said that it is very difficult to find qualified Oracle Certified Professionals-Database Administrators. To meet this demand, we have recently introduced two new levels of professional achievement to DBAs (and soon to be released to Application and Java Developers worldwide): The Oracle Certified Associate (OCA) -- an entry-level Oracle qualification requiring successful completion of two exams. The Oracle Certified Master (OCM) -- an advanced qualification for Oracle Certified Professionals (OCP), that requires students to take a practicum exam on-sitee at an Oracle University education center.
