Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle Masters exam
Well, I've had the luxury of not only not paying for any of the
certification, but actually being paid to DO the certification:
7.3 - original certification as an Oracle instructor paid for by Oracle
8.0 - paid for by the now defunct Coriolis Group so I could review their
exam crams for them
8.1 - paid for by Coriolis so I could write an exam cram for them
9i - paid for by Coriolis so I could write an exam cram for them, but
the company went south before the book was completed.
Wonder who's going to pay me for 10g certification? :)
Seriously, the Masters is (to me anyway) well worth it. It's something that really does test you know how to manage a database. You need deep hands on experience before you can even look at it. I was in the first beta test of the exam (an internal test), where we had 19 of the best Oracle people I have ever met doing the exam (ones that I would rank up with some of the Oak Table guys without any qualms), and we all found the two days very tough.

So, it's nothing like OCP where you get the certification when you spew
out
certain amount of the green stuff? I wonder how long will it take before
seeing oracle masters who don't know how to take a hot backup.

And having sat through the beta of the masters exam, let me reiterate what Reichert said in the article. You really do have to have the hands on experience to pass it. I've been using Oracle for something like 15 years now, and training others in the DBA world for 11 or so of those 12 years, and this was the hardest exam I've ever sat through.
