OCUP2 and OCEB2 new OMG certifications

New OMG certification paths

NobleProg, as an official member of OMG, delivers various OMG exam preparation courses across the world and arranges the exams for you. 

Object Management Group (OMG) is introducing major changes in most important certification paths. OMG Certified UML Professional Certification (OCUP) and OMG Certified Expert in BPM Certification (OCEB) are replaced with new versions OCUP2 and OCEB2. 

OCUP 2 is based on the newest version of UML 2.5.

Old OCUP has been completely replaced with OCUP 2.

The examination was extended by additional topics- chapters Why We Model and a State Machine Diagram. New questions are much more oriented to the practice of modeling than the UML metamodel, as it was in the first version of OCUP.

Material available to the old OCUP version are not updated yet and are not sufficient to pass the exam in the new version. This was confirmed by the comment of OMG director as a review of book - UML 2 Certification Guide: Fundamental & Intermediate Exams
