I am sure all the information you need can be obtained from
the Oracle Education Site.
Check out the details starting with this URL.

The sybex books on OCP certification is good and so are the Oracle Press books.
I would recommend the Oracle Press books though.

Folks ...
There are some good OCA / OCP Guides which cover all exams and are better to buy than the individual books. And you can try a zillion practice tests online on the net for free or atleast get some dumps to get a feel of the actual exam.

You can actually get a few on some of the sites - but according to javaranch policy - I guess I am not to post exam questions or some thing like that - my sincere apologies.
