The Exam History sub tab lists the certification exams taken, date of the exam and grade indicator (Pass / Fail).

The Success Kit sub tab lists the date when the success kit was shipped. Oracle Certification Success Kit data is generated twice a week. After a candidate completes the final certification requirement, it may take 7 - 10 days to produce the shipment record.

The Publish Credential to Third Parties sub tab is a very popular request to the OCP team especially for candidates who want the certification information sent to their present or prospective employers.
