Hans is correct. I think the certs are a waste of time and money. It won't get you a job and it won't get you the skills you need to get a job.

Why do I say that? Go to http://www.dice.com, http://www.hotjobs.com, http://www.monster.com and see how many jobs there are for "Oracle" then see how many jobs for "Oracle AND OCP".

That said I am a strong believer in education so I think classes are worth a lot ... provided they are not taught by a certificate mill ... meaning a company that doesn't teach you hands-on skills but rather just the correct answers to a paper test.
