Expert Review
-As
a developer, I have seen both sides of the certification- having it
and not having it. I was surprised at the difference the Oracle FWM
Developer credential made in my career, for it helped me not only get
a much better job and a higher position, the salary also got a
significant bump, but nothing was better than the skills it helped me
developed. Now as one of the best Fusion Middleware developers in my
firm, I couldn't have ever gotten this without the Oracle FWM
Developer credential, which worked like a charm.
