OMG Unified Modeling Language exams represent the industry stamp of approval of an individual's UML® analysis and modeling ability.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, by 2031 overall employment of software developers, quality assurance analysts and testers is projected to grow by 25%.
Our UML (Unified Modeling Language®) exams (OCUP2) test an individual's ability to properly interpret and construct UML model diagrams in the way UML is used today.
There are three UML 2 certification exams: Foundation, Intermediate, and Advanced. Use the tabbed section below to gain more detailed information on each exam.

The UML 2 Foundation (prerequisite to UML 2 Intermediate and Advanced exams) certification exam tests an individual's knowledge of a subset of the most used UML behavioral and structural diagram types and UML elements and attributes needed to design and implement real, practical and everyday systems. The individual is also tested on why certain domains use software modeling and the benefits they derive therefrom. This UML 2 certification level is intended to certify practitioners whose depth of UML knowledge and skill supports proficient model building and interpretation. With an UML 2 Foundation certification, a model user is well-equipped to interpret UML diagrams while a model builder is prepared to work on a modeling team. The UML 2 Foundation exam is available in Japanese!
