Achieved OBIEE 11g Foundation Suite Implementation Certification? What next?

Oracle's OBIEE certification path has four different exams, all leading to independent certifications. Oracle's exam 1Z0-591 is the key exam to become Oracle 11g certified implementation specialist. It just has one exam that will get the certification required. The screen shot below shows the basic details of this exam:

Once this is cleared, Oracle provides three other complementary certifications, which will add value to any one looking to get more out of the certifications:

1. First is the  "Oracle Database 11g Data Warehousing Essentials" ; Exam Number: 1Z0-515;

This really requires working on database side, data mining and Exalytics. It complements OBIEE 11g exam# 1Z0-591. Both #591 and #515 are independent certifications. Note: passing score for this exam is 78%, which is a lot more than 63% for #591.

2. Next exam is "Oracle Business Intelligence Applications 7 for CRM Essentials"; Exam number 1Z0-524

This exam includes BI Apps components, i.e. out of the box mappings, DAC, RPD etc and required knowledge of CRM BI Apps.

3. Next is the "Oracle Business Intelligence Applications 7 for ERP Essentials"; exam number 1Z0-525

This exam is some overlap in topics with #524, as it also includes BI Apps. But this one focuses on eBusiness Suite side of BI Apps.

Depending of what you are working on currently, any of these complimentary exams can be given without any specific exam order, as they are all independent certifications. Hope this information helps.

  2. Its interesting to note, that exam fee has gone up from $195 to $245 for each certification. Also, if the links on this page does not seem to work, open them two times. Second time it seems to work, not sure why!!
