RE: Is Oracle University Courses reqd for OCP Upgrade ??

As I understand it the classes are required now to get certified straight
from nothing to 9i. Only a test is required to go from 8i to 9i. Also, I
believe it is only one course to get OCP. It is two more advanced courses
for OCM.

Dear List,



Is it compulsory to take Oracle University courses for OCP upgrade exams
also?  I heard that Oracle made it compulsory to take atleast 2 OU courses
to get OCP certification.



Thanks,


-- Babu
