The Oracle Middleware Fusion 11g stack has a certification path for SOA: 1Z0-451 Oracle SOA Foundation Practitioner . When you pass this exam you may call yourself: Oracle Service Oriented Architecture Infrastructure Implementation Certified Expert. Today I passed the exam with 81% but I must say the questions were pretty detailed. So you really must have practical experience with the Oracle SOA Suite 11g, but this is a good thing because that is where Certification is for. Suggested preparation: * Follow a SOA Suite 11g Bootcamp (or follow the book: Getting Started with Oracle SOA Suite 11gR1 ) * Play with the product at home * Follow the recommended learning path as mentioned here (for this you must be a registered Partner) The questions are of high level and detailed level, with Choose Applicable, True/False, and Select Correct type of questions. A CIBER colleague of mine also passed this exam: Michel Christianen . 

With the support of SCA within the Oracle SOA Suite 11g you get basically two busses: The Mediator (the "old" OESB) and (as a separate product) the OSB 11g. The Mediator is positioned as wiring intra Composite and the OSB to wire enterprise Services. A question that puzzles me is if it is wise to (always) expose all Services via the OSB? In that case the OSB is your abstraction Service entry layer and all Services are reachable and configurable through the bus. This way you use the loose coupling strategy of Proxy- and Business Services within the OSB. What is your experience or opinion on this?
