No way, IMHO.

I've used Oracle for 10 years+ as a DBA and developer, and I only did my OCP DBA for 7 & 8 just in case some bullshitter at an interview brought it up as a minus point. I thought I'd kill that excuse dead in it's tracks.

So no, the OCP does not cover anything like the real-world experience you need. Still, it's a good place to start.
