Oracle Database: SQL Fundamentals I 1Z0-051

Starting September 25, 2009, Oracle Certification Exams will no longer be offered through Prometric. Oracle University is currently in discussion with a new testing vendor to finalize a new partnership. We therefore expect to make an announcement in early September that will include new registration steps for candidates after September 25, 2009.

In preview of our planned announcement, here are several helpful aspects to note:

• We plan on allowing candidates to continue using their existing testing ID; no change is necessary.
• We expect vouchers issued by Prometric to be fully functional in the new testing vendor system. Candidates will be able to use their unexpired vouchers in the new system just as they were able to use them in the Prometric system.

What effect will this have on Oracle Certification candidates?

• Oracle Certification candidates will register for exams on a new website.
• Oracle Certification candidates will need to create a web account with the new testing vendor when first registering for an exam.
• Just like today, Oracle Certification exams will continue to be available worldwide with great coverage in many testing centers – in many cases the same testing locations will still be available.
• Oracle Certification’s current “Hands On Course Requirement Forms” system will be taken offline on September 14, 2009. On September 28, 2009 an all-new “Course Submission” system will be launched on the new testing vendor’s website. Between these dates. Oracle University will continue to clear and validate forms that have already been submitted, but no “new” submissions will be accepted through the old system. Note: If you currently have an outstanding form that needs our attention,please let us know this . Oracle Certification candidates could possibly experience a 2-3 week delay in shipment of printed certificates while maintenance is performed on Oracle’s certification database during the transition period.
