Re: NEED RATING OF ORACLE TRAINING

I have also had very positive experiences with Oracle's training classes. I was very green in my first class, but was fortunate enough to sit next to an Oracle employee who helped me along. I took DBA I and II and thought they were both great. I have also taken 3 of their CBT courses and thought they were good and worth the time to take them.

Hope this helps!
