their Masters program. Its exactly
the
same requirements except they now added an exam at the end. Not to
many
folks
were going after the Master level except for the actual Oracle
employees.

ORACLE-LSubject: RE: The OCP bar is being
raised
I'd say the cost is being raised. Look at the
requirements for each. You can't just take the OCM exam. No we
would first have to get the OCA. Whether or not we need the entry level
cert we have to have it. Then, and only then, can we take the OCP.
Then and only then, can we take the OCM and that is after we take these
REQUIRED classes from Oracle Ed. So someone the caliber of Steve Adams
or Jared Still, has to spend money in a class that they could probably teach
from memory before they can get certification and that is after getting 2
other certs that have no value to them. Call me a cynic, but to me, this
is nothing but a money grab.
From the website:
