Thanks everyone for pointing out the value of the original test certificate. I'm sitting here is stunned bafflement at how inconsistent this is with the idea of "high tech". ( background sound of DBA frantically riffling through stacks of papers on his desk)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 6:34 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Dennis, When i was taking the initial OCP exams I received a score sheet from the testing orginization the day I passed each test. The only time I received any thing related to Oracle was after I passed all tests and then I received a certification suitable for framing. I also received an email that directed me to the Oracle site where the "Certified Professional" logo image is stored and a password to download the image (suitable for business cards and letterheads).

Hey - when I took each exam, the testing organization says that I should receive something from Oracle within a couple of weeks. Got nothing. Should I be worried?

When did you take your very first 9i certification exam? If you took it before Sept. 1, 2002, the you're a 50% OCP. -- Lyndon Tiu Quoting DENNIS WILLIAMS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > My instructor in a recent Oracle Education class said that there were a > couple of smart alecs that caused quite a stir within Oracle.
