Oracle reveals plans for Sun certifications
Oracle is now slowly beginning to re-brand Sun certifications. The certification hierarchy for EE 6 now aligns more with Oracle’s vision of certifications by introducing sub categories and clubbed certification packages ( you become a master when you complete all the certifications in a package ).
A detailed FAQ is now available on the Oracle blog about what changes are taking place and why. The things to look out for are
- Sun’s retake promotions
- The Sun brand of certification
- Procedure to buy exam vouchers
- Changes to certification objectives
- Changes to the procedure used to certify
- Contacts
The FAQ covers some of the points mentioned above. If you are preparing for an existing certification, there is no point waiting for changes. Like the fate of all Sun related projects, certifications will also evolve and time will tell what it looks like a few months from now.
