The differences between 9i and 10g are very substantial but most of the training courses available are so low-level that it likely won't much matter.

If a training course is truly 10g it is going to have information on: ORA_ROWSCN
Virtual Indexes
Writing BLOBs with UTL_FILE
DBMS_CRYPTO
Database Services
SYSAUX
Recyclebin
Purge
Flashback Database
Flashback Query

DBMS_ADVANCED_REWRITE
DBMS_MONITOR
DBMS_SCHEDULER

UTL_MAIL
Grid Control
ADDM
AWR If the class is not covering a substantial percentage of the above it is a 9i class just being repackaged as 10g for marketing purposes.
