Hi Everyone
I am looking forward to do associate level certification in SQL and PL/SQL.
According to a link from the official Oracle website, I need to pass the following two STEPS to earn the Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate Certification. The two steps are:
URL from where the below screenshots (STEPS) are taken is as follows:
https://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=653&get_params=p_id:162#tabs-1


As there are options available in both the steps , so I chose to give the following two exams:
EXAM 1 (from Step 1): 1Z0-061 (Oracle Database 12C: SQL Fundamental)
EXAM 2 (from Step 2): 1Z0-144 (Oracle Database 11G: Program with PL/SQL)
Now my questions are as follows:
Question 1 : I am planning to take 1Z0-061 exam first (lets say in the month of June) , so can I take the second exam (1Z0-144) at any time after appearing for the first exam or is there any specific time frame during which I am suppose to take the second exam?
Question 2 : What type of certification will I get if I only take one exam (either 1Z0-061 or 1Z0-144) ? I know that the official Oracle website says that in order to get "Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate Certification" , I need to pass both the exams; but what if I chose to give only one exam at the present moment? In the case of giving only one exam, what type of certification paper will I be entitled to (Vague speculation: entitlement to Half Oracle PL/SQL Developer certification ) ?
Thanking you.
Best Regards
