May I have Your Opinion Please?

I am on the brink of signing up for an Oracle Database Developer course leading to an Oracle Certified Professional Certificate. The course is comprised of the following sections:

Business Systems Analysis (60 hours)
Introduction to Oracle: SQL and PL/SQL (60 hours)(Exam 1Z0-001) PL/SQL Program Units (60 hours)(Exam 1Z0-101) Developer 2000: Building Forms I (60 hours)(Exam 1Z0-121) Web Site Development (60 hours)(MS Frontpage) Developer 2000: Building Forms II (60 Hours)(Exam 1Z0-122) Developer 2000: Building Reports (60 hours)(Exam 1Z0-123) Java Programming (60 hours)

The course spans 11 months, three evenings per week and costs approximately US $6000.00.

My background includes Database Development using, over the years, Dataease for DOS, Paradox 4-5-7-8 & 9 for Windows and presently I'm coding in Delphi III using Paradox tables. I also have a basic knowledge of SQL and have had some, but not much, experience with Visual Basic <= III and MS Access.

Being Canada's number 1 procrastinator :), I would appreciate hearing any opinions, positive or negative, to help me firm up a decision.

Kindest regards,
