OCEB
Program
If you're a BPM practitioner, an
OCEB certification at a suitable level will benefit you
by giving you an important credential to present to
employers and clients. Should you certify in only
one track, or both tracks? For a discussion, look here.
If you're a senior executive
hiring a consultant, or a manager making a
hiring decision, or awarding a promotion or a raise,
you know that the OCEB-certified candidate stands out
from the crowd - he or she has studied the material and
practiced the skills required for his level, and not
only knows how to model and analyze business processes,
but also is familiar with the many concepts and
frameworks that underlie Business Process Management.
For a more detailed listing of the material covered, and
descriptions of positions and tasks suitable for each
level, see this page.
About the Examinations: OMG
certification examinations - for OCEB, and our programs OCUP™
for UML, and OCRES™
for Real-time and Embedded - are administered by
Pearson
VUE at their world-wide network of secure testing
centers. All OCEB exam questions are multiple choice, and require
choosing one out of at least four possible answers.
While most questions test knowledge, some questions test
skills - especially modeling skills - by presenting a
scenario as either a small BPMN diagram or a few
sentences of text, and asking something about it. Answer
options may be presented as either text or small BPMN
diagrams as well. Each examination consists of 90
questions. In English-speaking countries, candidates are
allowed 90 minutes to take the test; in most countries
where English is not the native language, some
additional time is allowed. For more information, check
the OCEB FAQ page.
The
Companies Behind the OCEB Program
 The
OCEB Program was developed and is
run as a joint program of OMG and the UML Technology
Institute (UTI). OMG will spread and
promote the OCEB Program in the Americas and EMEA, while UTI will promote and administer the program
in the Asia-Pacific region. OCEB is one of three
Certification Program jointly produced by OMG and UTI; the others are the
UML Practitioner
certification OCUP, and the Real-time and Embedded
Systems specialist certification ( OCRES). Pearson VUE provides testing sites and
services for all three of the OMG Certification
Programs.
About
OMG
 The
Object Management Group™ is an open
membership, not-for-profit consortium that produces and
maintains computer industry and, more recently, business
domain specifications for interoperable enterprise
applications. Our membership includes virtually every
large company in the IT industry, and hundreds of
smaller ones. Most of the companies that shape
enterprise and Internet computing today are represented
on our Board of Directors. Our primary specification in
the business domain is the Business Process Modeling
Notation (BPMN), supported by the Business Motivation
Model (BMM), Business Process Maturity Model (BPMM), and
additional business domain specifications including SBVR
and BPDM. Our Unified Modeling Language™ (UML®) dominates
IT modeling, and the MOF™ provides a foundation that
makes models useful, by allowing them to be transformed
by software, and so used in the Model Driven
Architecture® (MDA®). Founded in 1989, the OMG's first
well-known (and still widely-used) specification was
CORBA®.
About
UTI
The UML Technology Institute Co., LTD.
was founded to promote the use of open, standards-based
modeling technologies through the development of
international certification programs that provide formal
recognition of modeling expertise. With headquarters in
Tokyo, UML Technology Institute was established in
November 2002 by PA Co., Ltd.
