As someone who has had "contention" with Oracle eduction for a long time, and in all honesty, I can tell you that is not the case.

10 years ago I couldn't agree with you more. At least in Australia. As is now, they provide what I consider very good introductory to mid-level courses which are of well above average quality.

I have never used their services regularly and many here know that. Yet when I have, it has been my surprise to find they have delivered a good, solid service.

Are they good value-for-money? I don't know. Personally, I think they are over-priced. And I also think other education providers from other makers are over-priced. But that has nothing to do with the courses themselves and the instructors.

Cheers
