Certification, at least in my part of the US, is a total waste of time and money. Essentially it will get you nothing but a piece of expensive paper you can hang on the wall.

As Robert recommends start with the Concepts books at tahiti.oracle.com Download a copy of Oracle from otn.oracle.com and install it. Check for a local user group where you may be able to get help:

Find someone that can help you learn if possible

MS Access is a toy by comparison and you will have a huge amount of to both learn and unlearn. Stay with it the learning curve may be steep but the rewards profound.
