Credibility of Oracle's 20 day DBA Master Track Program

I am an Oracle neophyte who has acquired just enough database
management skill to be in a state of constant frustration. I am also
considering an occupational change (I have run my own electrical
contracting business for 20 years and I have a BA from UC Berkeley in
both Philsophy & Sociology). Therefore, I am entertaining the notion of
wading through the Oracle DBA Masters track (which costs $8000), but
before I do, I thought it might be prudent to ask this newsgroup for
their impressions of that program.
I have the following questions:
There are certain programs (i.e. Netware's CNE) which, upon completion,
qualify one for immeadiate entry level employment. Does the Oracle
Masters certificate carry that kind of currency?
Are their any better and/or less expensive instructional opportunities available?
What about ETS's Oracle certification - does it have any industry credibility?
Thank you,
