UML: Preparing for the OCUP 2 Advanced Certification Exam

• Active UML users (IT analysts, business analysts) who already hold the Intermediate certification (UML_OCUP2I course) and want to advance their modeling skills to the absolute top.
• Solution architects and methodologists who need to precisely define metamodels, create their own UML profiles and understand the semantics of the language in depth.

• Introduce and explain all areas necessary for successful completion of the OCUP 2 Advanced certification exam.
• Penetrate the deepest levels of UML abstraction and learn to understand the language at the level of its own metamodel.
• Try out sample test questions, analyze the correct answers together, and understand the logic on which the certification is built.

• Active knowledge of UML at the UML_OCUP2I training level.
• Practical experience with UML (specifically with diagrams, knowledge of which is required to successfully pass the exam).

• Clear and interactive explanation that translates the formal theory of UML into human language and connects it with practice.
• Joint solution of simulated certification questions with a detailed analysis of why specific variants are correct or incorrect.

• Presentation of the material in printed or online form.

The syllabus is based on the exam requirements:

• Basic structures (templates, profiles, information flows)
• Classification (generic types, templates, collaboration)
• Structured classifiers (subsets and their union)
• Behavior definition – advanced techniques (multiple runs of the same instance, context of nested behavior)
• State machines (event postponement, redefinition)
• Activities (control types, transformations, selections, variables)
• Actions (another set of actions)
• Interactions (coregion, combined fragments, general order)
• Metamodeling (4 levels of abstraction):
• Profiles, stereotypes
• MOF
• fUML
• Alf
