See other replies , especially Richard's for the point in question. I
thought I'd pick up on this paragraph though. You are quite correct that in
many ways the OCP doesn't enable you to understand what oracle is doing (and
still less why), the official education courses do go some way to addressing
this, but in essence you are quite correct that you can obtain an OCP and
not understand what Oracle is or does.The same is of course true for the
MCSE and similar qualifications. You are quite likely to find as a result
that the OCP doesn't in fact help you get the job (though it may help you
get an interview).
