You will find this is a touchy topic here. There is an ongoing debate in comp.databases.oracle.misc and comp.databases.oracle.server around the _value_ of Oracle certification. You can see that debate in the archives, for example http://groups.google.com

As Sybrand says, direct answers to your questions are available on the Oracle education site at http://education.oracle.com - there are several links from that page - easiest is the 'Certification' from the left hand menu. Received on Mon Oct 11 2004 - 09:30:28 CDT
