I am a
SCJP 1.4. I am interested in the
Upgrade to Java SE 8 OCP (Java SE 6 and all prior versions).
Initially I was interested in the Oracle Certified Professional,
Java SE 8 Programmer. But first you must become an Oracle Certified Associate, Java SE 8 Programmer. I do not want to pass two exams, therefore I am interested in the Upgrade to Java SE 8 OCP (Java SE 6 and all prior versions).
Does the Upgrade to Java SE 8 OCP (Java SE 6 and all prior versions) have the same value than the Oracle Certified Professional, Java SE 8 Programmer?
I do no more have the printed copy of the certificate, but I have the email from Sun Microsystems, Inc. that I was certified on 06/30/2007. Does the Oracle Corporation have the details of my earlier certification? Is the email enough as a proof that I am a SCJP 1.4? How do I register for the Upgrade to Java SE 8 OCP (Java SE 6 and all prior versions)? Do I have to take the email from Sun Microsystems, Inc. with me on the day of the exam?
