ExploreAbout this exam
The Oracle Data Platform Foundations Associate credential is listed by Oracle University under exam code 1Z0-1195. It is an entry-level certification aimed at people who are starting to work with Oracle's data platform and want a recognised marker of foundational knowledge, including those moving into data-related roles from adjacent areas. On the date this page was prepared, the official Oracle University exam page was unavailable because the site was down for maintenance, so the publicly verifiable detail is limited to the exam name and code. Specifics such as the number of questions, the time allowed, the passing score, the price, the delivery format, the retake policy and how long the certification stays valid are not confirmed here and are shown as unknown rather than guessed. The exam is treated as a single-domain assessment covering Oracle Data Platform Foundations. To prepare, work from Oracle's own learning resources, confirm the current exam objectives and logistics on the official Oracle University page once it is reachable, and build hands-on familiarity with Oracle data services rather than memorising isolated facts. Treat any third-party summary of question counts, fees or pass marks as unverified until Oracle publishes it.
What you'll study
About Oracle Data Platform Foundations Associate preparation
What is the exam code for this certification?
The exam is listed as Oracle Data Platform Foundations Associate with the code 1Z0-1195. Use that code when you search Oracle University or a test provider, because the certification name alone can return unrelated Oracle data courses.
How many questions are on the exam and how long do I get?
That is not confirmed here. The official Oracle University page for 1Z0-1195 was offline for maintenance when this page was prepared, so question count and time limit are unknown. Check the official page before booking so you can plan your pacing.
What score do I need to pass, and what does the exam cost?
Neither figure is confirmed in the available source, so no passing score or fee is stated here. Oracle sets and revises these values, and older figures circulate widely online. Confirm both on the official Oracle University exam page or with your local Oracle University representative.
What format is the exam delivered in?
The delivery format is not confirmed in the available source. Oracle exams are commonly delivered at test centres or online proctored, but do not rely on that assumption for this exam. Verify the available options when you register, since the choice affects your ID and environment requirements.
If I fail, how soon can I retake it?
The retake policy is not stated in the available source, so it is marked unknown rather than guessed. Retake rules and waiting periods are set by Oracle and can change. Check the official exam page or contact Oracle University before assuming you can re-sit immediately.
How long is the certification valid?
Validity is not confirmed in the available source. Some Oracle credentials carry an expiry or require periodic renewal, but this page cannot verify the rule for 1Z0-1195. Confirm the current policy on the official Oracle University page so you can plan renewal ahead of time.
How difficult is this exam?
It is positioned as a foundations-level associate credential, so expect breadth across Oracle data platform concepts rather than deep specialist depth. Difficulty still depends on your background: candidates with hands-on exposure to Oracle data services generally need less preparation than those coming from other platforms.
In what order should I study?
Start with the official exam objectives once the Oracle University page is available, then work through Oracle's own learning material for each listed topic. Follow with hands-on practice on the services named in the objectives, and finish with timed self-testing so you can spot weak areas before booking.
What are the most common ways candidates lose marks?
Two recurring problems are studying from outdated third-party summaries that quote old fees, question counts or pass marks, and memorising terminology without understanding how the services fit together. Because this page could not verify those logistics, treat only Oracle's current published objectives as authoritative.
Where can I confirm the details before booking?
Use the Oracle University exam page for 1Z0-1195 as the primary source. If it is unavailable, Oracle University lists regional contact phone numbers and email addresses for North America, Latin America, Japan, Asia Pacific, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, so you can ask a representative directly.
