There seems to be a difference in the nomenclature and certification path of the new exam. Now, they are calling it "Oracle Certified Professional: Java SE 11 Developer" certification instead of "Oracle Certified Professional: Java SE 11 Programmer" as they did earlier. Further, there is no "Associate" level certification for Java 11 anymore. You can only be a Oracle Certified Professional -  Java SE 11 Developer and for that you need to take two exams - 1Z0-815 and 1Z0-816.

So, unlike before, after taking the first exam i.e. "Java SE 11 Programmer I 1Z0-815", you won't get the OCA certification!

Is it truly so? Because in the website https://education.oracle.com/products/trackp_815 Under the Certification Levels Detail, we see OCA as a part of the Certification Level. Also, is it beneficial now to take the OCA 8 Exam, considering I've already prepared for it, but I'm leaning towards the side of giving the 1Z0-815 Exam but the fact that there won't be a certification for it is throwing me off.

Also, when will Enthuware come with Questions for the 1Z0-815 and 1Z0-816 Exams? And are there any books currently available to study so as to give the exam as early as possible?

You might be misinterpreting what I wrote. Associate Level certification is available but only for the Java 8 version, which you can get by passing the 1Z0-808 exam. For Java 11, there is only the Professional certification now and this certification requires you to clear 2 exams (815 and 816). In other words, even if you clear 1z0-815 exam, you will not get any Associate certification.

I don't think there is any book for the new exam available right now because the exam was released only a few days ago but may be in a month or so.

Scott and I have started updating as well. We actually started (speculatively) before the exam objectives came out. The fact that they changed the structure from OCA/OCP to part 1/2 is going to delay things. Another delay is that there is no longer a beta exam. Theis means there wasn't a "lull" between objective release and general availability.

Take the OCA 8 (and OCP 8 if your goal is OCP).. It's really  hard to take an exam without a study guide. It will be a long time (years) before the OCA/OCP 8 are retired. The Java 7 exam was finally retired in 2018.

All:
I created a new FAQ page for the OCP 11 exam.. I removed a lot of stuff that we've been carrying for the Java 6/7/Sun days. Please edit to add your material!

I would wait if you're thinking of taking the exam (unless you're also writing a study guide).  As I detailed here, I took the first exam already and even it is quite different from the previous OCA 8, despite having similar objectives.  They made the objectives much more vague and all encompassing than the previous set.  You need to know a lot of topics from the OCA 8 and OCP 8 exams just to pass the first OCP 11 exam.

In short, both exams are now difficult.  There's no 'easy' exam anymore, so better off waiting for now!

Good to hear that you took the exam. Yes, some of the objectives are too broad and I guess the exam team has changed so they moved the objectives around under different sections

But I am curious to know about some of the glaring omissions - wrapper classes, ternary operator, switch statement, enhanced for loop, and common exception classes. Did you get questions on these?


I guess they took out the Data/Time API from the exam altogether. Right?

Oh, they are far from gone.  Assume you need to know everything in core java features to pass.

Dates is the only grey area.

The exam has been available for less than a week!

Most authors (like myself) would be writing a book for the OCP in general. Luckily, the objectives are the similar for part 2 and the upgrade exam so it would work for both.

What is the reason of changing the name from "Programmer" to "Developer" ? is this name changing indicates of changing in the level of the certification or is it just names without any drift or meaning ?

also for this point i would ask what's the reason that there is no associate level for Java 11 anymore ? , Is the associate certification not valuable in a resume when applying for a junior job ? also I've noticed at Oracle website that there is no Java Foundations certification for Java 11

The Java Foundations exam is not tied to a specific version of Java. It was tested with Java 8 because that was the version of Java out at the time of the exam release. However, the content is not java 8 specifics. It doesn't cover lambdas or other Java 8 features. The Java Foundations exam wasn't launched at the same time as OCA 8 in the first place

Thanks Jeanne for the explanation,

And why they changed the name from "Programmer" to "Developer" ,  is there any reason of that or they are just names !
Sorry if this question seems silly but I was just curious to know the reason.

Possible reasons
  • The word developer is more popular
  • Development can be considered a higher level skill. Programming is turning a spec into code. Development is more than that.The fact that security is included in the cert which seems related.

    I found interesting table in this pdf:

    https://imgur.com/afuORSZ

    "I am Java SE 8/7/6 OCA" -> "1Z0-816"

    It seems that people with OCA can earn OCP 11 by taking only one exam. Could you confirm that Jeanne?

    The exam objectives have been out less than a month. Nobody is going to have a book out yet.

    I recommend taking the Java 8 exam for which there are study materials.

    Yes, this path is very useful to candidates who have spent time and money getting the OCA 7/8. They can straight away go for the OCP 11 i.e. 1z0-816 exam. I hope it is not a mistake in their FAQ because there was no OCA 6.

    LOL, I also thought there was no OCA 6, but in fact it was:

    Oracle Certified Associate, Java SE 5/SE 6 1Z0-850 Java SE 5 and 6, Certified Associate

    (discontinued a year ago, btw)

    Ah...right!
    BTW, a member on OCP Java 11 Certification Whatsapp Group received a confirmation email from Oracle saying that it is indeed a valid path. If you have an OCA 6, 7, or 8 certification, you can go for the OCP 11 Part II i.e. 1Z0-816 exam.


    Dear ----,

    Thank you for your patience.

    Our records indicate that you have earned your Oracle Certified Associate, Java SE 8 Programmer credential with the Testing Id ****.

    Kindly note that candidates who hold the OCA Java SE 8 can upgrade to OCP, Java SE 11 Developer credential by passing the exam 1Z0-816. This information will be updated on our website (https://education.oracle.com/oracle-certification-exams-list) soon.

    We hope this information helps.

    Sincerely,
    OCP Team

    GAH!  I just passed the OCA 1.8 exam on Thursday.   Since there are really no study guides for OCP 11 I think I will still get the OCP 1.8 cert and then do the OCP 11 Upgrade.  Most companies still seem to be using 1.8 so I still think it's a good cert to have.  Thoughts?

    Well done, and welcome to the Ranch

    How urgent, and how important, is it to get the Java11 cert at all?
