OCP Information for Oracle PartnerNetwork Members
The Oracle Certification Program establishes a consistent industry standard of excellence for technical professionals who use Oracle products.

Certification is one of the ways that the Oracle PartnerNetwork Program differentiates the varying levels of commitment from partners. In order to qualify for the Certified Partner or the Certified Advantage Partner levels of OPN, a certain number of certified professionals must be present in an Oracle partner's staff. Oracle University wants to make fulfilling this requirement as simple as possible. Various exam preparation options are available from Oracle University to help partner staff prepare for each exam. Special exam and course discounts apply for OPN members only.

25% DISCOUNT ON OCM EVENTS
OPN Members are also entitled to a 25% discount on Oracle Certified Master 2-day hands-on practical exam. Obtaining the discount and registering for this event are a bit different than obtaining the discount and registering for one of the core, applications, or online certification exams. Since these events are scheduled through Oracle University, candidates will register for the event exactly as they register for an instructor-led course. The OCM discount is applied through Oracle University Web Registration by using the candidate’s EDU Discount code. Contact your local Oracle University representative if you have any questions regarding OCM registration. If you require assistance in obtaining your OPN discount code, please contact your OPN representative.
