Hi Jack,

    In order to get a meaningful answer you will have to provide more information. For example, if you are planning on making a career change from professional athlete to Oracle developer going to classes provides no assurance of success. On the other hand if you are currently a COBOL programmer it will definitely help.

regards

Jerry
