Oracle EBS Certification and Training Study Planner

Pick one of the eight Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Implementation Specialist exams still marked active on Oracle MyLearn, set your experience, weekly hours and exam date. The planner turns Oracle's published exam topics into a week by week plan of EBS 12.2 documentation reading and hands-on setups in a Vision demo instance, re-weights it toward the objectives you rate weakest, and tracks progress, readiness and exam-day deadlines.

Oracle Certification Program (Oracle University) at a glance

Oracle lists eight E-Business Suite exams on its certification page, all at the Implementation Specialist level and all still flagged active on MyLearn: General Ledger, Payables, Receivables, Inventory, Purchasing and Order Management (R12.1 Essentials), plus Projects and Human Capital Management (R12 Essentials). They are older exams: the topics were written for R12 and R12.1 while the recommended courses are R12.2.9 and the current EBS release line is 12.2. Oracle publishes no topic percentages for them and no official practice test is linked on the exam pages. There are no EBS exams for technical roles (DBA, developer) in Oracle's current list.

How to use the Oracle EBS study planner

1
Pick the exam and your starting point
Choose one of the eight active EBS exams, how much EBS you have used, weekly study hours and the exam date. Each exam fact shows a status badge and links to the MyLearn exam page it came from.
2
Rate yourself on every objective
Score each official objective from 1 (never done it) to 5 (do it weekly). Low scores get more time and move earlier. If you already passed another exam in the group, rate the six E-Business Essentials topics 4 or 5.
3
Adjust topic weights
Oracle publishes no percentages for these exams, so defaults follow the number of objectives per topic. After a failed attempt, raise the weight on the domains the CertView score report shows as weak.
4
Work the plan in a Vision instance
Each week lists EBS 12.2 documentation and hands-on setups. Use a Vision demo or a non-production clone, never production. Readiness combines your ratings and completed tasks.
5
Run a timed self-test and use the exam-day checklist
There is no official practice test on the exam pages, so the practice task is a timed self-test at the real length. Deadlines for rescheduling and system checks are dated from your exam date. Save to your account or export.

Questions

Which Oracle EBS certifications are still available?

On 2026-10-22 Oracle's certification page listed eight E-Business Suite exams, all marked active on MyLearn: 1Z0-516 General Ledger, 1Z0-517 Payables, 1Z0-518 Receivables, 1Z0-519 Inventory, 1Z0-520 Purchasing, 1Z0-521 Order Management (all R12.1 Essentials), 1Z0-511 Projects and 1Z0-548 Human Capital Management (R12 Essentials). Each leads to a Certified Implementation Specialist credential.

Is there an Oracle EBS 12.2 or EBS DBA certification?

Not in Oracle's current list. The functional exams are titled R12 or R12.1 even though Oracle's recommended courses are R12.2.9. No EBS applications DBA or developer exam appears on the certification page, so technical staff usually certify on Oracle Database and use EBS 12.2 training on MyLearn instead.

How many questions are on the EBS exams and what is the passing score?

GL, Payables, Receivables, Inventory, Purchasing and Order Management: 64 multiple-choice questions, 120 minutes, 60% to pass. Projects (1Z0-511): 70 questions, 120 minutes, 63%. Human Capital Management (1Z0-548): 70 questions, 120 minutes, 65%. Check the MyLearn exam page again before you book.

How much does an Oracle EBS certification exam cost?

Oracle sells exam attempts in MyLearn and the price depends on your country and currency, so we do not show a number. Enter the price from your MyLearn checkout in the planner's cost box. Budget for a possible retake: each attempt is paid separately.

Do EBS certifications expire?

Oracle's recertification policy names only certain Oracle Database credentials, and no expiry or recertification rule is published for the EBS credentials. Check the credential record in CertView, and note that Oracle can retire an exam even when the credential remains valid.

Are the topics weighted?

Oracle does not publish percentage weights for these exams. The planner defaults to each topic's share of the official objectives and lets you type your own weights. After an attempt, the CertView score report breaks results down by exam domain, which is the best guide for a retake.

Where can I practice EBS hands-on?

Oracle's Rapid Install can create a Vision Demonstration database with seeded companies, items, customers and suppliers; the hands-on tasks in this planner assume one. A non-production clone of your own instance also works. Do not practice setups such as accounting setups or flexfield changes in production.

What are the exam-day rules?

Exams are live proctored online through MyLearn. Use the latest Chrome or Edge on Windows 10 or 11 or macOS 13 or later, one display, a webcam and microphone, a stable connection without hotspot or VPN, and a valid government ID. Check in 30 minutes early. Pen and paper are not allowed; a digital whiteboard is provided. Reschedule or cancel at least 24 hours ahead.

Should I certify on EBS or on Oracle Fusion Cloud?

Certify on what you implement. If your clients or employer run EBS 12.2 and plan to stay, an EBS credential is directly relevant. If a move to Fusion Cloud ERP is planned, Oracle's Fusion Cloud Applications exams are refreshed regularly while these EBS exams are not, so plan the Fusion exam next.
