Professional Certifications

Differentiate and stand out with professional certifications

Career and Learning Resources

Oracle Academy curriculum pathways align with Oracle Foundations Associate professional certifications, which provide concrete evidence of Java programming and database knowledge and skills as students look to differentiate themselves when applying for jobs.

Curriculum + Certification = Skills + Careers

Students in secondary schools and two- and four- year colleges and universities who have studied Oracle Academy curriculum with hands-on practice in Java or database may wish to explore earning Oracle professional certifications. Oracle Foundations Associate certifications can prepare students and educators to progress to the Oracle Certified Associate level, and later to become an Oracle Certified Professional.

Certifications provide validation of specific technical knowledge and capabilities and show students' potential to continue to build knowledge and skills as they continue on their education and career pathways.

After successfully obtaining Oracle Foundations Associate certifications, students might consider studying for and taking exams to obtain Oracle professional certifications, which show industry knowledge and skills and require additional comprehensive study, practice, and exam preparation.

Through Oracle certification, students can demonstrate a professional level of technical skills with a distinction recognized throughout the information technology industry. This gives them a competitive edge in their careers.
