Oracle Certification Testing

Oracle certifications are tangible, industry-recognized credentials that can help you succeed in your IT career and provide measurable benefits to your employer.

Oracle certifications are a reliable validation of training and experience that can accelerate your professional development, improve your productivity, and enhance your credibility.

For IT professionals and managers, each Oracle certification level signifies a benchmark of experience and expertise recognized for its value and relevance in the IT industry. Today there are over 1.5 million Oracle Certified Professionals worldwide.

Types Of Exams

Proctored/Non-Proctored Exams — Most of Oracle Certification’s exams are considered high-stakes exams and are therefore only delivered with a proctor through Pearson VUE testing centers and some Oracle University training locations. Oracle also offers several exams online without a proctor. These exams provide more accessible way to get started on a certification path. Non-proctored exams do not require preregistration or an appointment, and are available on-demand 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Beta Exams — Oracle also occasionally offers beta exams, which are preproduction exams used by Oracle to evaluate new exam questions with the participation of a live audience.

Oracle Database OCM Exams — Oracle Certified Master (OCM) exams for Oracle Database are conducted at designated Oracle University facilities in each global region. Visit the Oracle Certification website to learn more and register for OCM exams.

NOTE: You must create a web account with Pearson VUE before you can schedule your proctored or non-proctored exam.

Schedule An Exam

Appointments may be made in advance or on the day you wish to test, subject to availability. Pearson VUE offers a variety of scheduling options—

  • Schedule Test Online
  • Schedule Test Over the Phone
  • Schedule Test through Local Test Center

You will be required to acknowledge that you have read, understood, and will abide by the terms and conditions of the Oracle Certification Program Candidate Agreement before taking the exam.

Test Preparation

Exam Retake Policy

Candidates must wait at least 14 days before retaking any failed proctored exam. There is no waiting period for failed online, non-proctored exams. Passed exams and beta exams may not be re-taken. Violations are subject to Oracle’s Fraudulent Activity Policy.
