Re: Need help getting started

Dear Viraj,

I can totally understand how you feel.

But I hope you can appreciate that it takes a lot of courage and perseverance for a person who doesn't know Oracle to take any of the OCP papers. Many of us have to do a lot of additional studies on top of the Oracle training material inorder to move painstakingly from one paper to another.

Everyone has to start somewhere. I think that anyone who can pass the OCP papers, whether or not they have the practical experience, should be given the credit, encouragement and opportunities.

I dont want to sound rude here, and my comments are NOT directed at you personally.

What is the standard of these OCP's, when a person who has not worked with oracle, can pass them, for the sake of discussion it does not matter which tests they were? It seems doing an OCP is a complete waste of time!
