Skill tracks
Paths are for dependencies; tracks are for roles. A track spans modules, so it cannot be a straight line.
A
HCM Foundations
The ecosystem mental model: person, assignment and work relationship; enterprise structures; the workforce lifecycle; the absence module the workforce records time off against; where security, setup, integrations and reporting sit.
B
Core HR Bridge
Enough Core HR to understand how ORC and OTL depend on upstream workforce data: worker lifecycle, assignments, structures, legal context, payroll relationship and effective dating.
C
ORC Recruiting
The complete candidate-to-hire lifecycle: career sites, application flows, selection processes, requisitions, prescreening, interviews, pools, sources, campaigns, offers, archiving, APIs, security and troubleshooting.
D
OTL Time and Labor
The full processing chain: reporting channels, layouts, worker time entry and processing profiles, repeating periods, consumer sets, entry and calculation rules, exceptions, approval, payroll and project costing consumption.
E
Cross-Module Architecture
The bridges: ORC to Core HR, Core HR to OTL, OTL to Payroll, OTL to Project Costing, OTL and Absence, plus security, approvals and integrations across all of them.
F
Security
Role-based security, duty roles, HCM data roles, security profiles, location-based access, value set security and auditing business objects.
G
Integrations
REST resources and their duty-role grants, scheduled processes, the HCM Data Loader, middleware patterns, and how to diagnose an integration that silently stops.
H
Reporting & Analytics
Operational reports, Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence, BI Publisher, reporting security and data lineage.
I
Implementation Methodology
Requirements, discovery, fit-gap, design, configuration, security, integration, migration, test strategy, SIT, UAT, cutover, hypercare and support.
J
Troubleshooting
Eleven root-cause categories and one method: symptom, scope, reproduce, gather evidence, hypothesise, eliminate, fix, retest, document.
K
Interview and Scenario Readiness
Explain the design decision, defend the trade-off, diagnose the exception, and narrate the end-to-end process out loud.
L
Release & Change Management
Quarterly update impact, release-scoped content, re-verification triggers and managing tenant divergence.
What a path is not
It is not a certification track. Nothing here prepares you for an Oracle exam, and the certification practice page says so explicitly rather than implying coverage it cannot deliver.
