UML Certification Program
Underway
The UML Certification Program is a worldwide joint venture of the OMG and
UML
Technology Institute (UTI).
The primary objective of the OMG/UTI Certification Program is to provide
the
IT community with a measure of an individual's knowledge of the UML 2.0
Specification. The need for a certification program demonstrates the
industry's growing acceptance of UML's pivotal role in the promotion of object
modeling standards.
The program offers three levels of knowledge-based examinations for the
award
of the following certifications:
- OMG-Certified UML Professional Fundamental
- OMG-Certified UML Professional Intermediate
- OMG-Certified UML Professional Advanced
Each level of examination tests a candidate's knowledge of progressively
more
complex concepts and usage of the UML 2.0 Specification. Although examinations
may be taken randomly, certificates are awarded on an incremental basis.
