Re: oracle training

[Quoted] Hi, I'm an instructor working for an Oracle authorised education partner - please note that I am deliberately NOT including the company name here so as not to be accused of advertising. I'm an experienced RDBMS instructor (10 years + in the UK), including 6+ years of Oracle training. Despite my own experience, which includes 25 years in this industry as a developer, to work for Oracle partners I still had to attend each training course that I wanted to present, THEN teach the class under the gaze of a senior Oracle instructor. The supervising instructor completes a 4 or 5 page review form on my performance, covering everything from my technical knowledge to my demeanour (addressing students by name) and even my dress sense! Then and only if the grading is acceptable, I'm allowed to teach the class alone.

In summary, Oracle take the quality of their partner instructors very very seriously.

And having taught similar classes for many UK based organisations, including my own business in England, I am seriously impressed by the quality of the handouts and support material provided by Oracle.

You could do a lot worse than take an Oracle authorised class.

Good luck and have fun ...
