Hi pawan Kondaveeti,
Warm welcome to coderanch
.
when I schedule for Professional certification, it does not ask/verify for any pre-requisites.If I go ahead and take the Professional exam without taking associate , will I get Certificate ?
Yes . You can write OCPJP8 without taking
OCAJP 8 . But You don't get OCPJP 8 certificate till you get passed in the OCAJP8. I would suggest you write OCAJP8 first and go for OCPJP 8 next.
Hope it helps !
