No one takes the certs seriously anymore, only managers who don't have a clue about Oracle and are on an interview panel, they'll look at certs as a justification.
CISCO certs are taken seriously, even some of the Microsoft ones. Oracle needs to follow these examples for them to be taken seriously.

Why is Oracle not following Microsoft's example - look at the list of certs at http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/credential/default.mspx and the specialties on each of those links. Each one is a class or two, and each exam is $125. Make it fluffy, put it in a nice binder, and pack 'em in.
With all the recent aquisitions, Oracle should be able to produce around 300 specialty certs. If Oracle really wanted to print money ... <g>

In my opinion, Oracle's Certification system needs a serious overhaul. I would start off by getting rid of the OCA and making the OCP the entry-level test, demoting the OCM as well to a mid-tier test and finally have a practicum that is really worthy of experts. And reduce the prices and requirements for said tests as well.
The main problem is that these certifications are currently great money-makers for Oracle and business are starting to realize that, which really cheapens the value of the tests. Once Oracle de-emphasizes the money-making aspect and focuses on actually certifying a degree of skill, then we are talking. But wait, we are talking about Oracle after all. *grin*
