Oracle Solaris 11 Certification: Raising the Bar |
The certification path for Oracle Solaris 11 has been enhanced
in order to reflect current industry standards. As a result,
the Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) and Oracle Certified
Associate (OCA) for Oracle Solaris 11 have been changed.
Starting in late 2011, new and improved Oracle Solaris
certifications for Oracle Solaris 11 will be released that
emphasize more advanced skills, resulting in an even more
valuable credential for you.
Oracle also offers several upgrade paths for those who hold
Sun Certified System Administrator (SCSA) or Oracle Certified
Professional (OCP) certification on Oracle Solaris 10 or earlier.

The Value of Oracle Certification |
Certified teams are meeting their objectives more often than
other teams, delivering projects on specification, on time,
and on budget. Research shows that when greater than 40% of a
team is certified, the average team performance increases by
11% (Source: IDC, Impact of Training: Functional Excellence
Leads to Operational Productivity, Doc #215762, Dec 2008.)
In other words, teams with a substantial percentage of certified
individuals perform dramatically better than non-certified teams.
Unscheduled network downtime, for instance, was about 20% lower
at organizations with more certified IT staff (Source: IDC,
Impact of Training on Network Administration: Certification
Leads to Operational Productivity, Doc #220563, Nov 2009).
Greater productivity and improved performance can translate
into improved customer service. But the benefits are internal
as well: achieving professional certification validates crucial
job skills while adding individual value and enhancing team spirit.
In fact, almost 90% of certified Java professionals feel that
they benefit from the knowledge they acquired in preparing for
certification (Source: Certified! Now What? Java Magazine,
Array Publications, June 2009). Not surprisingly, Oracle’s
own survey
shows that 96% of respondents would recommend Oracle’s
certification program to a professional colleague.
