You will get more out of spending $60 and buying Tom Kyte's book ("Expert One-On-One Oracle").

The CBT courses will teach you about Oracle. They will not UNTEACH you about SQL Server. And while Microsoft likes to pretend that they are the same product with different names on the CD this just isn't so.

Get Tom's book and spend a lot of time on the first three chapters. Especially noting the comments about the differences in the way the products work.

Oh and take the course too ... but only after you've read Tom's book. You have as much to unlearn as you have to learn.
