Beginning Sept. 1, all Java, Oracle Solaris, MySQL, Oracle Solaris Cluster and Open Office certifications will be republished and rebranded under the Oracle Certification program with their new Oracle Certification titles, writes Paul Sorensen for the Oracle Certification blog.
Sorensen lists the following four points as items those interested in certification need to know:
- The exam format and objectives for each of the exams will be the same as they were previously under Sun; hence there is no impact to those preparing to get certified.
- If you are currently holding a certification exam voucher for one of these exams, they will continue to be valid through their expiration date and can be redeemed.
- If you currently hold an existing Sun certification, your current Sun certification title will still be recognized under the Oracle certification program and will continue to be valid. You can upgrade your certification at any time to the latest technology release to receive an Oracle certification title.
- If you are in the process of preparing for a certification exam that you will take after September 1, 2010, you will receive an Oracle certification title and will have use of Oracle Certification Program logo for endorsement of your proven skill by Oracle Corporation.
