Free Oracle certifications to collect this summer

S

Summer is slow. Clients go quiet, the inbox calms down, and you finally get a few evenings that are actually yours. That is the perfect window to grab a couple of free Oracle certifications before everyone comes back in September.


Here is the deal, and it is a good one. The courses are free, the certifications are free, and each exam gives you 15 attempts. The exams are not proctored, so you sit them from home whenever it suits you, listen to your music, drink whatever you want. With a free course behind you and 15 tries in your pocket, it is basically impossible to fail. Miss something on the first go, see what you got wrong, and take it again.

The topics are worth your time this year too. Most of these paths sit around AI on the Oracle database and OCI, which is where a lot of the interesting work is heading. So you are not just farming badges, you are picking up things you will actually use on real projects. And even the architect exam is for free!

I would prefer a job candidate with a few of these over one with nothing. They show you can sit down, learn a topic, and finish what you started.


The free ones (15 attempts each)

Pick whatever looks interesting and start there, no particular order:

You do not need to do the labs to pass, although I always recommend them. The prep time is low and you can knock out one exam in a single day.


If you want to go further (these two are paid)

Once you have a few free ones done, there are two Professional paths worth a look. These are not free and they are harder, but they go deeper and carry more weight on a CV (and maybe you get some free exam vouchers):

Good luck, and happy learning.
