Hi there!

Wondering if it is worth becoming Oracle Certified Master, considering the investment for Oracle University courses and Fee for the Practicum. I estimate 2*$1500 for courses and $2000 for practicum totaling to $5000. Any opinions?

Also, I have two questions:

(1) There are pre-requisite courses for the Advanced DBA courses - For example, if we want to take "Oracle 9i: Security", we should have attended "Oracle 9i DBA Fundamentals I" and "Oracle 9i DBA Fundamentals II". But, when I called Oracle Support, and they have told that these are not mandatory. Did I understand correctly?

(2) Do you know of any discounts available for Oracle University courses (for OTN members, or otherwise)

Any help is highly appreciated.

HTH, Krishna
