OMG Certified UML® Professional (OCUP 2™) Exam

The OMG Certified UML Professional (OCUP 2) – Intermediate certification, offered by the Object Management Group (OMG), verifies that someone has deeper expertise in using Unified Modeling Language (UML). UML is a graphical language that helps software professionals design, plan, and document systems before development. By earning the Intermediate certificate, a person proves the ability to work with complex UML diagrams, understand more advanced modeling concepts, and use these skills to tackle bigger, real-world software projects—not just basic system designs.

This certification demonstrates that an individual can transform detailed software requirements into clear and structured diagrams, making it easier for development teams to build correct and maintainable systems. It's aimed at people who already have basic UML knowledge and want to show they can handle intricate system models, cooperate on large projects, and communicate designs effectively. OCUP 2 Intermediate is recognized globally as a sign of solid, hands-on modeling competency.
