How to train yourself for Oracle
A number of the higher-level Oracle certifications mandate that candidates attend one or more training
courses as part of the certification process. The intent of this requirement is to reduce the number of
people who have never actually worked with the software from gaining a certification that indicates
they have proficiency in it. Not all training will meet this requirement and not even all Oracle Education
training will meet it. This article will only discuss the various training options from Oracle education.
They have a list of approved third-party vendors. You should contact Oracle Education before scheduling
training with a non-Oracle Education vendor to ensure that it will meet the requirement. Not all, or even
most of Oracle certifications have a hands-on stipulation. A number of candidates mistakenly assume
that a certification they want requires training. In particular, the Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer
Certified Professional has no hands-on requirement. Training helps in getting an Oracle job I have often
seen people asking about what training they should take so that they can attain this certification. At this
time, only the certifications listed below have a training requirement. You can find out which Oracle
Education classes meet this requirement at the Oracle Education website:

When studying for an Oracle certification, the Oracle Education course materials are just about
impossible to beat in terms of their relevance to the certification topics. The course materials and tested
topics match right down the line. That said, it is also just about impossible to find a more expensive
method to prepare for Oracle certification tests than Oracle Education courses. If you can afford it or if
your employer will pay for it, the material is excellent. Oracle Education offers four distinct types of
training: classroom, live virtual class, training on demand, and self-study courses. Only courses on the
approved list from the first three types count toward the training requirement. The self-study CD-ROM
courses do not meet the hands-on requirement for certification. That aside, there are training ar types
and their pluses and minuses are:
Classroom Training
The classroom training requires you to travel to an Oracle Education center, so you will likely incur travel
and hotel expenses unless you are fortunate enough to live within commuting distance of a training
center. In the classroom environment, you will have the greatest interaction with the instructor and
with other classmates. You should not underestimate the value of being able to network with other
people in the class. The classroom training offers the greatest potential for learning of all four methods.
It is also the option that requires the greatest expense and effort and it is good when it comes to getting
an oracle job.
