Oracle Corporation
Database, Java and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure certifications, spanning long-established platform credentials and a fast-growing cloud track.
Oracle certification covers three quite different worlds: the database platform that has been certified since the 1990s, the Java language, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Each has its own naming convention, which is part of why the programme can feel harder to navigate than its competitors.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure exams are refreshed on an annual cadence and the official code carries a year suffix — for example the Foundations Associate exam is published as 1Z0-1085 with the current year appended. We list the stable base code and link to the Oracle page where the current release is published.
Passing scores differ per exam rather than following one programme-wide rule, and Oracle publishes the current figure on each exam page. Cloud credentials expire after 18 months to two years depending on the track.
