David what you and Nuno are both apparently missing is the fact for many job postings an OCP is now listed as a pre-requisite to HR.

That is driving force behind why people are willing to go through what badly needs to be totally revamped oracle training.

It would probably be best if oracle dropped the whole OCP program but as long as it brings any (even negligible) revenue stream into oracle corporation I cannot see that happening.

While the overall quality of the information is scattered, incomplete, and in some areas marginal, there is some degree of learning possible to people who go through the OCP program.

Obviously one can rant and rave about companies and community colleges turning out incompetent people but isn't that what the modern educational systems and capitalism are all about? Received on Tue Sep 20 2005 - 20:13:50 CDT
