Oracle is going to make training compulsary for all OCP exams starting sep 2002. Does the same applies for OCA examination also. Please guide.
Do I need to take any 1 exam before september.

You do not need to attend the training to get OCA (first two exams). However, if you don't write atleast one of the exams before september,you have to take the training to get the OCPcredential.

Yes you have take one exam before Sept 1. But if your aim is to get only OCA then its not a compulsion.
