Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: RE: Oracle Press OCP exam guide frustrations
Well, if you take the Introduction to Oracle9i: SQL course. (BTW, I was wrong about the price differential - I was looking at the wrong CD - the price differential is actually $200, not $115, sorry about that) so that ups the original figure I wrote from $865 to $950. Still not bad, though, depending on how you look at it.
The trick is you have to find a course that offers the self study CD. Not all of the courses do.
And the online "instructor-led" courses (at least some of them) are actually $1250 (a tiiiiiny bit less than $1500, but still a huge cost).
