Hi Everyone,

Our new system—CertView—has turned out to be quite a hit! We're getting some wonderful feedback from many of you about this great new tool. Although there are multiple new benefits being offered with CertView, the third-party verification seems to be quite a hit among many of you. So thanks for your feedback!

To help make things as fast and easy as we can, we've just produced a series of “how to” mini-tutorials to help walk you through steps in response to some of our most frequently asked questions.

Oracle Certified Master (OCM) Joel Goodman also shares some insight into some of the benefits of Oracle Certification in his latest two video segments, which were recorded during a recent webinar series conducted in the UK.

I hope that you're one of those we got to personally meet at OpenWorld this past month. If not, I definitely hope to see you next year.

Read below about our new certification exams going live this month. And as always, be sure and share your questions and feedback with us on the Oracle Certification Blog.

Regards,

Paul Sorensen | Director, Oracle Certification
