FUNDAMENTAL Coverage Map and References

 

FUNDAMENTAL

With this level of knowledge, and a corresponding amount of industry experience, a UML Modeler holding the OCUP Fundamental Level Certification can be a productive member of an analysis and design team. The OCUP Fundamental Examination covers the most commonly encountered UML elements. Familiarity with these elements allows a user to read, interpret, construct and work with simple UML models.
 

NTERMEDIATE Coverage Map and References

INTERMEDIATE

With this level of knowledge and expertise, and a corresponding amount of industry experience, a UML Modeler holding the OCUP Intermediate Level Certification could be an acknowledged senior member or supervisor of an analysis and design team. The OCUP Intermediate Examination covers a broad range of UML elements. Familiarity with these elements allows a user to read, interpret, construct, and work with fairly complex UML models.
 

ADVANCED Coverage Map and References

 

ADVANCED

With this level of knowledge and expertise, and a corresponding amount of industry experience, a UML Modeler holding the OCUP Advanced Level Certification could serve as technical director of a department modeling large integrated applications, including complex behavior, and could advise senior management on the role of modeling in an enterprise architecture. The OCUP Advanced Examination covers the full range of UML elements. Familiarity with these elements allows a user to read, interpret, construct, and work with extremely large and complex UML models of an application’s structure and behavior.

Note that each level has its own examination, testing progressively more advanced concepts and usage of the UML 2.x Specification. All three exams cover the Superstructure; the Advanced exam also covers the Infrastructure. The maintenance updates that yield the point releases 2.1, 2.2, and the forthcoming 2.3 did not modify the language enough to affect examination coverage, so you will be well-prepared regardless of the point version you are familiar with.
