Why You Should Take The Oracle Database Cloud Service Exam

If you read our recent article Are Your Database or Java Skills Cloud Ready?, you may be wondering what the big deal is about exam 160 or how it can lead to so many different certifications.
I want to help clear the confusion.

Oracle Database Cloud Service | 1Z0-160 tests your Oracle Database Cloud Service skills, demonstrating your ability to administer your database in the Cloud. The resulting certification depends on your background.

• No prior Oracle Database certification = Oracle Database Cloud Service Operations Certified Associate: working knowledge of databases with some admin skills
• Prior Oracle Database 11g or 12c Administration Certified Associate = Oracle Database Cloud Administrator Certified Associate: ensures you have the knowledge to perform your DBA OCA job in the Cloud.
• Prior Oracle Database 11g or 12c Administration Certified Professional = Oracle Database Cloud Administrator Certified Professional: ensures you have the knowledge to perform your DBA OCP job in the Cloud.

Oracle Database 12c is enabled for the cloud. Get the most out of your database by adding Cloud expertise to your existing Oracle Database certification or by starting your journey with Cloud skills and knowledge. The future of computing is in the cloud. Position yourself to lead this change.
