Beta testing is underway for the new “Oracle Database 11g Essentials for Implementers” certification exam (1Z1-514). This exam is required to earn the new Oracle Database 11g Certified Implementation Specialist certification and can be taken at Pearson VUE Testing Centers worldwide.

The Oracle Database 11g Certified Implementation Specialist certification endorses intermediate-level implementation team members who focus on implementing the Oracle Database. Because of the technical level of this exam, up-to-date training and field experience are highly recommended.

OPN members who provide their OPN Company ID number when registering will also be awarded the Oracle PartnerNetwork Certified Specialist designation, which helps their company qualify for Oracle Database Specialization status.

The beta test contains 100-120 questions, and up to 120 minutes are allowed to complete the exam. Candidates will receive their final score and pass/fail status after the completion of the beta period.
