Well, the first thing you need to ask, is to yourself, and it would be "What do I want to do in the future?"

If you feel comfortable and happy working with PL/SQL, and developing code on the DB side (as I do!), then the PL/SQL track is the right option, and there are not so many options.

First of all, Oracle certifications are usually organized in this order: Associate --> Professional --> Master. Some "tracks" have additional levels (like Expert or Specialist), some tracks (like PL/SQL) do no have a "Master" level.

If you have already passed the 1Z0-071 Exam, then you have already obtained the OCA (Oracle Certified Associate) on SQL:

So you started on the "SQL" track (that starts and ends at Associate level) now the logical move would be to go for the "PL/SQL" track:

1) Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate

(https://education.oracle.com/es/oracle-pl-sql-developer-certified-associate/trackp_162)

• Step 1 --> Exam 1Z0-071 (DONE - you already have it)
• Step 2 --> Exam 1Z0-144

2) PL/SQL Certified Professional

• Oracle Database PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional ( https://education.oracle.com/es/oracle-database-pl-sql-developer-certified-professional/trackp_148  )
  • Step 1 --> Exam 1Z0-071 (DONE - you already have it) or Exam 1Z0-144
  • Step 2 --> Exam 1Z0-148
• Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional (https://education.oracle.com/es/oracle-pl-sql-developer-certified-professional/trackp_OCPPLSQL19C )
  • Step 1 --> Exam 1Z0-071 (DONE - you already have it)
  • Step 2 --> Exam 1Z0-149

You may want to:

• Go "step by step", starting with the the option 1 --> PL/SQL Associate, then choose between one of the 2 "versions" (Oracle 11g or Oracle 19c, more up to date but probably a little harder) available on option 2). This means 2 exams (twice $$$) but probably simpler to study and to pass the exams.
• You may just "skip" the PL/SQL Associate level and go directly for the PL/SQL OCP one, using options 2 or 3. Save some $$$, but you may need to study a little more....
