SCJP designation introduced 10 years ago. Now there is no longer a Sun Certified Java Professional (SCJP) designation. Instead, the new vernacular is OCP, standing for Oracle Certified Professional.

At the most fundamental level, the JDK version being tested has been updated. The latest incarnation of the Java Professional designation from Oracle will be testing candidates on version 1.7 of the JDK, not Java 5 or Java 6, as the previous examinations did.

Other change to obtain certification is now two step process, which starts first with passing the Oracle Certified Associate exam, or as it’s referred to on Oracle’s certification site, the Java SE 7 Programmer I test. Once you pass the new Associate exam, you are then qualified to write the Java SE 7 Programmer II exam, and if you pass that, you’ll have gained your Java ProfessionaL designation
