Benefits of Oracle Certification

Beyond OCA, by becoming an Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) you demonstrate your understanding of the full range of skills required by Oracle professionals in your chosen job role. An OCP is in high demand in today's marketplace.

The level of demand continues to grow with each new installation of Oracle technologies around the world. An OCP Certification raises your visibility and increases your access to the industry's most challenging opportunities. The demand for professionals in the information technology (IT) industry is high, and the competition for jobs is intense. Individuals, experienced or new to the profession, need to know what skills make them attractive to employers. Employers look for ways to select prospective employees who have the solid foundation of skills needed for effective performance. The Oracle Certification Program helps the IT industry establish a standard of competence in key entry-level and professional job roles.

The Oracle Certification Program can give you a distinct advantage. OCPs have testified to the value of Oracle Certification2: An Oracle Certification is a valuable, industry-recognized credential that signifies a proven level of knowledge and ability. Each higher level of Oracle certification brings a higher standard of benchmarked skill and ability, which leads to greater opportunities and higher pay.
