Oracle 9i Hands-On Course Requirement

Hello all,
I have finished all 4 exams for Oracle 91 OCP DBA certification and I need to take the Oracle 9i Hands-On Course Requirement. From what I understand from oracle website you have to attend a class from a list of approved courses at oracle university or oracle authorized center or an oracle partner and then
1) the institute where you attended the course sends information about your attendance to Oracle. And oracle in turn verifies attendance.
2) How long does it take for Oracle to verify that I attended that course if not taken at OU and
3) How long does it take for Oracle to send me the final OCP certificate?
4) Oracle website also mentions that a candidate needs to submit a form online and take a test at the prometric website.
5) Is there a cost effective way of taking this course?
I am trying to locate centers in US within New York City that offer the Oracle OCP Hands-On Course Requirement for Oracle 9i certification OCP DBA. I am specifically looking for an Oracle authorized center or partner in NY (as a cheaper option). I have been looking for hours on the oracle website and I am unable to find any specific information. I can only see oracle university locations or oracle partners who do not provide training
for individuals. At this point I am quite frustrated and I would really appreciate any help.
I want to quickly take the course and get my OCP certificate. Since I am planning to visit India, I thought of taking the course there as it would be lot cheaper ($200 Vs $750 for an online course in US). I talked to an institute in India and they tell me that I need to enroll for a course and then on completion they willvsend oracle all my details. There are no exams for the course. It will take a month for them to receive the certificate for the course and then I can apply for the OCP certificate to Oracle. (So are we talking about 2 months here for the certificate?)
However when I spoke to a customer care rep at oracle uni, they gave me a complete different picture. They tell me that I need to enroll in a class which might be a max of 5 days and then I can get my OCP certificate within a week. I also need to give an exam for the course
that I take.
I am confused and I am unable to find any oracle authorized centers or partners in US in New York so I can call and confirm. If you have any information regarding this with the correct sequence, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Purvi.

Hello Neil and 355099,
Both your links are helpful and i was able to find the centers. I had earlier looked at the courses and schedules and assumed that the same offered by and Oracle partner or authorized center might be less money. Anyways in case some one wants to take the course outside US here's the link - http://www.oracle.com/education/partners/partners.html#5
Thanks again,
Purvi.

Hands on course requirement

Good day,
If I have completed 10g Administration I and II. Can I take the 10g RAC course to fulfill the hands on course requirement? even though the prerequisites for this course are:

The training course prerequisites indicate the level of experience the candidate should have to appreciate the training course. If yu've passed those exams and are a experienced DBA then you should have no problems (though you'll have to get your head arround RAC sequences and learn to think RAC on the course and you'll know the difference between a database and an instance for sure ;-) )
(I think its good that the range of handes on courses for DBA admin OCP allows the candidate to choose either to pick a course that helps them prepare for the exam or to pick a topic that extends their knowledge if they understand the core exam topics well (and/or have passed the exam)).

OCP 9i "Hands on Course Requirement"

I work and live in the New York, Manhattan area.
I have inquired to several computer schools about the

have little or no ideas about what I am talking about.
Can anyone point me to a reputable or at least knowledgeable training facility in the Tri-State area???

Hand on Course Required

Well i want to ask a question regarding Hand on course requirement, i have some doubt please clear someone?
1. If a person already working in real life in oracle database then this guy need any hand on course?
2. I recently completed my ocp in oracle 9i dba but oracle not issue me my certificate then i enquire they told me you need to complete hand on course after that....
3. I call my exam center where i completed my all exam the person told me boss you need to complete a module in oracle authorised center then i told him sir i am working in oracle 9i last 2 year so why i need a training after that he told me it is rule, i want ask all ocp or who are preparing for ocp exam it is necessary?
4. After that this guy give me reference of an institute and clearly told me please mention my name to that center if you will go there for training, guys you also thinking the same yes this guy have a fix comission for providing a student for training, if not so why he call me more then 3 or 4 times?
5. then i call the institute for training perpose and they told me at least 25000/ you need to pay for any one module i am socked?
6. i prepare my all exam through my friend he is senior DBA in IBM and have more then 6 year experience so the institute faculty is better then the 6 year experience working friend?
7. i think it is nothing oracle doing business and indirectly redusing there education value the reason if anyone your friend ask you about the oracle certification so what you suggest him dear this certification is only for rich person not for you because you can not afford that much amount for hand on course forget about if someone your friend help you to prepare for examination?
i think oracle realy need to think about it, if i am wrong please correct me?
thanks,

1. If a person already working in real life in oracle database then this guy need any hand on course?Well, HOC is NOT at all related to this that you are working or non=working. I know so so many who are working from many years and still come up and tell me that with hot backups, datafiles get freezed. The HOC was designed in 2002(if I am correct in memory) to make sure that the person who would be an OCP, he should know the right and correct thins and to maintain the quality in training, it was made must to attend a course. So it doesn't matter whether you are working or not. OCM is meant for mostly working dbas' and it does have a very strict requirement for 2 advanced courses attendance before you can even send money for the exam registration.

2. I recently completed my ocp in oracle 9i dba but oracle not issue me my certificate then i enquire they told me you need to complete hand on course after that....They are correct. Any one passing ocp examz after September 2002 needs to do that.
3. I call my exam center where i completed my all exam the person told me boss you need to complete a module in oracle authorised center then i told him sir i am working in oracle 9i last 2 year so why i need a training after that he told me it is rule, i want ask all ocp or who are preparing for ocp exam it is necessary?It doesnt matter what you think, its already there since last 7 years and there was a small note that was published in 2002 on Oracle's website explaiining the reasons for it. You may want to read the note available now.
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=99
Once again, it doesn't matter that you are working or not. Its a rule to make sure that all the ocp has at least some level of quality training before they become OCP and I have seen that helped a lot. There were so so so many dbas in 8i timings. With this requirement introduced, only serious candidates now think about OCP.

4. After that this guy give me reference of an institute and clearly told me please mention my name to that center if you will go there for training, guys you also thinking the same yes this guy have a fix comission for providing a student for training, if not so why he call me more then 3 or 4 times?
Don't get caught up in all these things. Don't you get calls for life insurance or free add on cell numbers too many times? Sales guys have to do all this. They are paid to do all this. Ignore all this and try to get enrolled.
5. then i call the institute for training perpose and they told me at least 25000/ you need to pay for any one module i am socked?So you mean 25k is HIGH? Well, did you have a look at the pricing of OU for the same courses? Check this out,
http://education.oracle.co.uk/html/oracle/1080544US/SCHED_MP.htm
A coffee given at Starbucks is of a certain price and a coffee given at a local coffee shop is of a certain price. That's all! You need to pay the price where ever you go if you want to drink coffee. So be it Starbucks or some local shop!

6. i prepare my all exam through my friend he is senior DBA in IBM and have more then 6 year experience so the institute faculty is better then the 6 year experience working friend?I wont say anything about the company or about the friend. But I can tell you one experience where I had a guy in my class with 12 years of experience and he didn't know how buffer cache works? He argued with me for about an hour that LRU list and LRU mechanism are same and work areas is a term that I just made to "impress" them. It really doesn't any kind of rule that if you are working you are bound to know everything. Yes,hand on experience always helps but any one with any N years of experience doesn't mean that for sure shot, he/she knows it all. I have seen it happening time and time again unfortunately. You may work for just 2/3 years and know a lot more than 10 years old guy as it all would depend on where you work. Don't judge people from N number of years of experience alone.
7. i think it is nothing oracle doing business and indirectly redusing there education value the reason if anyone your friend ask you about the oracle certification so what you suggest him dear this certification is only for rich person not for you because you can not afford that much amount for hand on course forget about if someone your friend help you to prepare for examination?
And why you think that your friend would be knowing it all? I can guarantee this there would be at least 10 things in teh dba books offered by OU that he must have not read. Its a too big statement but I guess, you should have got my point. To stop people getting certified by having trainig from a single computer having old software with some one who gives a training after his job , oracle made all this conditions. Its not about being rich and poor. Its about being getting real and good training which is often missed in these kind of "friendly " trainings.
i think oracle realy need to think about it, if i am wrong please correct me?You are completely wrong( I am not from Oracle) .

HANDS ON COURSE REQUIREMENT and Oracle Certification

Hi,
I have done my oca 1og exams and my ocp 10g exams. But, I haven't done any hands on course which is a requirement to be ocp certified.
I like to know if I need to write any other exams before or after the hands on course(s) required to be ocp certified.
thanks

thanksIt always concerns me when I see this form of question and the person has taken several exams but is newly today registered on OTN. As I have said recently there are very valid reasons why this can happen, but it general it is a concern.
If you have fullfilled the examinatation requirements and only need to do an authorised hands on course to satisfy then that is all you need to do.
See [http://www.oracle.com/education/certification] ... the required information is there.

WDP program course eligibility hands on course requirement clarification

Refering to https://workforce.oracle.com/wdp_curr.html :
It is only necessary to complete one course of the WDP track to achieve hands on course elegibility, or is the whole track required, and is this effectively monitored, especially should the candidate change WDP institutes part way through.
for instance would it be necesary only to complete 'Oracle Database 10g: Administration Workshop II' (40hrs) at the given institute, or would it be necesary to complete the whole BA OCP track (120hrs) to be eligible for hands on course dispensation?
Thankyou

From a certification perspective, only one course is required for certification. Any course that is on the approved list will do. I'm sorry, I cannot provide this link right now as the OU website is currently down.
So, from a certification perspective, 'Oracle Database 10g: Administration Workshop II' (40hrs) will count toward certification. I'm not 100% sure about any prerequisites to this course that may be required by the WDP program. We are requesting someone from the WDP to respond to your other questions. Please keep in mind too that this page was last updated in Feb 2007 - Maybe the WDP contact can comment also on whether this info is still up-to-date.

I have submitted Hands on Course Form thru Pearson VUE Login Credentials, as a result I got the message from [email protected] to provide Course Certificate "Needs Your Attention" for the applied OCP-DBA Certification on Oracle 11g.
Hence, I sent the scanned copy of the Course Attendance Certificate to [email protected], as a result I got immediate system generated response from Oracle "Please Allow 5 Days For A Response" But, after 12 days (9 working days) I am unable to get the response from Oracle.
What is wrong in this process, I sent an email reminder TODAY (Sept. 18, 2013) and submitted a Service Request using CertView Login Credentials and YET TO GET A RESPONSE. Anybody from Oracle Certification Support Team can resolve this issue, please?
I will appreciate the response from OCP Support Team!
this is not the "OCP Support Team". This is simply a forum platform provided by Oracle for the use of their user base to be able to support each other without unduly clogging the official support channel.

Oracle OCP Hands on course discount for OPN member ?

Hi guys,
I work for a company in Australia that is a Oracle Advantage Partner (highest level).
I have completed the OCA but I understand the OCP requires a instructor led training courses. Seems like the price of these courses is $3000-$5000 AUD.
Is there any discount for a certified Oracle Advantage Partner company ?
Thanks

For sure in courses there will be no discounts for oracle advantage partner companies that too for an individual attending the training in public batch. But if you company want to arrange a private training through Oracle University then they may give discount but your company should arrange minimum 6 candidates to attend the training.
But you can get benifited with one new features...If you attend any Oracle 10g DBA Workshop I or Oracle 10g DBA Workshop II training through oracle university then they are providing a free exam voucher for the exam. So maximum that you can save is the exam money. For more details on discount vouchers check education.oracle.com

Hands On Course Requirement for OCP Level

Dear friends,
I'm planning to join in Oracle datawarehouse-related training. Since there's no schedule for "*Oracle Database 11g: Data Warehousing Fundamentals*" yet in my country, I alternatively decide to take "*Oracle Database 11g: OLAP Essentials*".
Based on official info here , I know that course is no longer being scheduled. But I was searching in education.oracle.com and found there's a training schedule on Monday, November 14th, 2011 in Oracle company in my country for that course.
My question is : Is it still eligible to complete my OCP requirement?
Of course if "*Oracle Database 11g: Data Warehousing Fundamentals*" is scheduled before November 14th,2011. I'll take it instead of "*Oracle Database 11g: OLAP Essentials*".
Need your advice.
Thank you.

What exactly is "your OCP requirement"?
Perhaps you should get confirmation that the specific course (and maybe course number) is actually going to be held.
You may also want to post a request or show of interest for DW Fundamentals to your local office because they may want to know of potential attendees before they can schedule a course.

Help..Oracle could not trace my WDP hands on course for OCP 10g

Dear All,
Can somebody on Oracle (OTN team) could help me to validate & check my WDP hands on course as below detail :
Class Name :
ORACLE DATABASE 10G: ADMINISTRATION WORKSHOP II RELEASE 2 - WDP (D17092GC31S)
Location : CV Informit Indonesia
Student Id : 62156
Student Name : Zulfirman
Schedule : 25 March 2011 - 10 April 2011
(10 sessions @ 3 Hours)
I have put above information on VUE, but then come up an email response from oracle asking my hardcopy certificate course.
I have contacted the INFORMIT, they said it takes 2 up to 3 month to get the certification from OU indonesia.
Since it take long time to get the training certification, I come back emailing the oracle to ask for speed up, then they said they need to check further about my training detail.
FInally they come up with an email that asking me to ask INFORMIT to email the oracle confirming that i have already completed that course.
Worstly, i have not in that city anymore where the INFORMIT located, but i drop informit an email just now to forward oracle request to them.
Question :
1. Can someone help me to validate my training instead of waiting oracle with the emailing back - forward ?
2.Why ORacle unable to trace my detail WDP class above ? Is it because of a cheap WDP training so they dont provide a connected server between WDP training provider & OU or Oracle headquarter ?
3. The Hardcopy certification for WDP student take too long. What is the std lead time for WDP student to have thier training certifiaction ?
Thank You,
Zulfirman,PMP,OCA

Hi Brandye Barrington,
No,
they didnt provide me an exam voucer. For your info, i have already passed all the exam required for OCP track.Which is an indicator of something not right. Mabe not your fault. Maybe the Institution. Maybe WDP.
My goal to get this training is to refresh me about the topic & to claim my OCP status.
you can check my exam history using my ORacle Testing ID (or Oracle Certification Program ID): XXXXXXXXXXWell you've just 3.2 (iv) No Misconduction of the http://education.oracle.com/education/pdf/ocp_candidate_agreement_V0810.pdf of the agreement you make before taking this exam by disclosiing your Oracle Testing Id to another person ... aka the whole internet!
>
For your info,
I hve just got confirmation from my WDP training centre (Informit). They have emailed "[email protected]" to confirm that i have officialy registered with WDP training centre by showing to them (them = oracle) the screen shot or print screen of regsitration form from WDP website, where my name alrady been registered inside the WDP system.
Ho Ho Ho !! The WDP training center are well enoughton the ball to know that email address have been withdrawn. ( http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2011/03/email_alias_ocpexam_wworacleco.html ).
Perhaps that document does show a registration number.
Now i can only wait, wheter oracle still could not accpet that email from INFORMIT as a proof or i have to wait for my certification hardcopy (take 2 or 3 months ahead)
Emails can be faked. And I am reasonably certain a percentage of WDP Training centers would not apply the rules properly if they could get away with it.
If i still have to wait for the scan hardcopy certification, then for sure, i really upset with ORACLE, due they could not manage best communication & sychronization database between ORACLE - WDP TRanining Centre, & me as a unlucky candidate due to their bad communication on both system.
IMHO I can see from this and other threads that WDP or the training centers fail to publish clear and precise information of what is involved so the students can authoratively check on an oracle website. IMHO The WDP Traiing centers have a degree of control which they can use to mislead students.
And I assume you have access to the following :: https://workforce.oracle.com/pdf/html_rd/wdp_stu_reg.html?wdp0 ... and if not why not ? ( I dont .. i am not WDP).
If ORACLE is a great database company, then they must already predict such issue in early as possible instead of waiting such complaint raised in.
Oracle is Great. Larry is Great. Any Oracle RDBMS version with a zero in it may be a bad vintage.
But IMHO you may be right wrt WDP.
Again, Pls help me on this..
Besr Regards,
Zulfirman,PMP,OCAWhen one does training at OU the attendance is properly recorded and there are nless real issues with attendance not being recorded.
With WDP institutions as far as I can tell this is not perhaps as well auditted and there is perhaps room for shenanigans; faked attendance, etc.
As far as i know when WDP was started (oracle 9i) the students used to have to attend the whole track of a specially constructed coiurse to get the credi ( I used to call it a never mind the quality feel the width training). And the training was spread to ensure the pupil had time to absorb the training. And it might be taught by non Oracle Professionals. WDP can however now be used for a single session set of part of track being sufficient for the training requirement (This may be simply a never mind the quality appreciatethe cheapness approach).
This may all seem off topic for you.
However please realise Oracle Certification (whcih operates independently of WDP who do there own thing) need to establish training has been properaly attended. And if there is a loophole many WDP candidates wll rush towards it.
This however does give me a chance to kick Oracle to ensure WDP has its house in order.
