OCM funny pre-requists - two advanced courses from OU.

Hi,

Okay, I am already 8i and 9i dba and I lost faith in doing OCP any more since just reading dump (example questions) anyone can pass. I wanted to do the OCM, but, surprised to see the pre-requisit for this. They ask 3 - 4 years of production experience and working experience on LINUX plat-form, these are acceptable. Only the problem is that the restriction that they have put, is that to do two advanced courses. I dont think so that beginners can go for OCM like OCP and of couse, only experienced DBA will go for it. Doing two advanced courses from oracle university, is the way they wanted to make money? Dont we have rights to ask oracle why such restriction is put in place? For me I dont think that these two advanced courses are required to appear for OCM. We are spending $2k for OCM and again $1,800*2 for two courses, which we already aware of.

What is your opinion?
