Re: OCP DBA question?

its not worth the cost of an oracle course to get certified. I am certified and it has little to no value. if you just want to learn the information and prove that you know it, then study for the tests. -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Syed Jaffar Hussain" <sjaffarhussain_at_gmail.com>

OCA doesn't have any pre-requisits. Without attending any OU course, one can sit for OCA. In order to complete OCP, one need to provide the pre-requisit course attendance details before.

2. Does a online course/CBT perhaps qualify as a hands on? This need to cross check with the prerequisits. Or probably sending an email to ocp exam team would be good idea.

Hello,

I have been wanting to do my certification for awhile but as a contractor it means having to loose income and paying ZAR12000 which equates to a huge chunk of finance in South Africa. My question is this:
1. Can I write the exams and do the required hands on course at the end or is it a requirement for doing at the begining of the certification. 2. Does a online course/CBT perhaps qualify as a hands on? (As time is a problem - always :-) Lets face it passing the exam is the point is it not? Rather than warming an Oracle University seat?

TIA
Regards
denham
