Passed the Oracle DataCenter Operations Foundations Associate (2026) Exam

written by Aaron Grothe on 2026-09-15

Studying for the Agentic AI for Oracle AI Database Professional exam, and saw Oracle had a Foundations Exam for DataCenter Operations.

It is one of the Foundation exams so you can take it on demand and you've get 15 attempts to pass. So figured no harm, no foul and sat for it. It is a bit different from some of the other Foundation exams. Instead of needing 68% to pass you need 80% to pass. Took it and got 84% so I passed. A lot of questions about chillers and UPSes which makes sense it being a DataCenter exam.

Sat for the following Exam

I still have the Certification voucher from the 2025 Oracle Race to Certification that I need to use before the end of October. Still planning on sitting for the Agentic AI for Oracle AI Database Professional in the next couple of weeks. This is pretty much a new exam, including their old Generative AI exam and some other AI developments. So studying for it is going to take a bit of time.
