Java Certification Exams

-

 When Sun microsystems own java they use to have two java certification exams.

  1. SCJP (Sun Certified Java Programmer) - For Java Programmers.
  2. SCJA(Sun Certified Java Programmer) - For those who wanted broader knowledge.
After Oracle brought Sun microsystems they changed all java exams names from java to oracle.
  1. SCJP to OCJP
  2. SCJA to OCJA
But with Java 7 oracle decide to stop updating OCJA exam and decided to cover more on the programmer space and split it into two exams.
OCJA split into two as follow : 
  1. OCA JP - Oracle Certified Associate Java Programmer also known as Java Programmer I or OCA.
  2. OCPJP - Oracle Certified Professional Java Programmer also known as Java Programmer II or OCP.
There is an upgrade exam in case you took an older version of SCJP or OCJP and want to upgrade. Most people refer to the current exam as OCA 8, OCP 8, and Java 8 upgrade exam. 
These are the certification exams oracle use to certified you about your java programming language knowledge.
