Java 7 Certification

Java 7 Release
After the take over of Sun Micro system by Oracle , release of Java 7 comes with new style of certification in oracle flavor. Actually its just in start phase of Java 7 certification called as 'Beta version' . It have some benefits or also some difficulties.Evaluated below :

Beta Certification
Actual price of a oracle certification is $125 but in case of Beta its become about $50.Beta version of certification comes only when there is new release of any product , to configure what suitable & appropriate question and format asked to student So Oracle use initial phase of analysis of certification questions.We will get after 11 weeks of finishing Beta exam, only those question will be considered for marks which are selected for non Beta exam .So take it on your risk if you are a expert then no problem at all.

Certification Path 
At the time of writing this blog Oracle introduce two level of certification given As:
1. OCA 7 - Java 7 programmer I
2. OCP 7 - Java 7 programmer II
Until now there is no release of of Java 7 OCM certification..Let us take a brief introduction  of both exams.

OCA 7 - Java 7 programmer I
The OCA, Java SE 7 Programmer certification is designed for individuals who possess a strong foundation in the Java Programming language. This certification covers the fundamentals of Java SE 7 programming, such as the significance of object-oriented programming and the steps to create simple Java technology programs. This certification provides a solid foundation on which to base continued learning.

OCP 7 - Java 7 programmer II 
It's just under construction at the time of writing that blog ,course will be displayed after a month ago.As best of my knowledge there is not so much change between Java 6 & java 7 rather than project coin with some changes in API's .I suggest that not take that exam under Beta version. If you want to clear Java certification as early as then old version exam are also available.
