Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Guys: Is this worth $1,749 for 8 year Oracle veteran DBA
I have just completed my Oracle 8i OCP DBA using only ten years of
experience and the Sybex books (thoroughly recommended, except Backup &
Recovery does not cover enough RMAN syntax). I believe if you sit the 9i OCP
exams then you do have to attend one Oracle course (except if you had sat an
Oracle 9i exam prior to a certain date this year), however you can sit the
8i exams and then the 9i upgrade exam without requiring the course (or I
hope this is true, since I am studying for the upgrade exam now). Also heard
an Oracle trainer say that the 9i exams are easier then the 8i exams but do
not now if this is true or not.
Hope this is of help,
Neil.

Also, isn't Oracle now REQUIRING you to go to THEIR classes to get your certification?

involved in the OCP tests. I could see where you might come out tuned up
enough to whip out a couple of tests, but once you got past them, you'd
probably have to do the other tests the hard way -- study for them. I would
rate the individual classes as more likely to help you through the OCP, one
test at a time.

Guys,
I have been working hard on Oracle systems at various levels - various
platforms, etc. for 8 years. It has been a long time since I have taken a
course. Would like to go to IOUG. Reading e-mails I have made up my mind -
I think it gives me more options to get certified. Problem has been I work
and have 2 small kids. Also, I am a consultant who has been steadily
applied - not a problem but it means I am either working on systems or with
my kids. I am thinking this is a way to save myself the time I don't have
and force the commitment - is it worth it? I know an unfair question but by
taking this and the exams will I indeed completed what it takes to become
certified for 9I?

"There was so much information that I needed to know for each exam, but
my Instructor made it a point to explain every area that was expected to
be tested on the exams. Because of the Instructor's insights into the exam
topics, I was able to spend less time in overall studying."

Instructor and Mentors at OraKnowledge. They helped me when I needed
better explanations and they provided the motivation to stay on track"
