Well, follow the money. Oracle education doesn't sell much to recruiters, I don't think. That's just ancillary to the need to show certifications that is created by the consultancy marketing. When it gets picked up in the back-and-forth between customer HR and IT departments when defining pay scales and job defs, then O E marketing has an opportunity to sell it to IT execs. Or something like that.
