Hands On Course Requirement for OCP(DBA)-Level certification

I HAVE passed 1Z0-051 , 1Z0-052 AND 1Z0-053 EXAMS.
Can I do Oracle Database 11g: Data Warehousing Fundamentals hands-on course for OCP DBA level certification?
Or anything else , What is best for me?

  • 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.

  • Purpose of instructor led training requirement for OCP?

    What is the purpose of requiring OCP candidates to take an instructor led course? It all seems a bit random / superfluous. Costly too if one does not have an employer willing to pay for the training.
    My Oracle Press "OCA/OCP Oracle Database 11g All-in-One Exam Guide" doesn't even hint that classes are a requirement for the OCP; the most said is: "The OCA qualification is based on two examinations; the OCP qualification requires passing a third examination." (pg. XXIX). An incomplete characterization, correct?
    And "To prepare for the OCA/OCP examinations, you can attend Oracle University instructor-led training courses, you can study Oracle University online learning material, or you can read this book." (pg. XXIX). Prepare for the exams, sure. But why would such a book omit the not insignificant detail that a perhaps expensive course is required to get the OCP? Seems discourteous to the reader.
    From http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=244#5 via http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=198&p_org_id=&lang=
    I say it seems random and superfluous because of the following list:
    "These foundation courses meet the Hands On Course Requirement for OCP-Level certification:
    * Oracle Database 11g: Introduction to SQL
    * Oracle Database 11g: Introduction to SQL Ed 1 LVC
    * Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I
    * Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals l Ed 1 LVC
    * Oracle Database 11g: SQL and PL/SQL Fundamentals
    * Oracle Database 11g: SQL and PL/SQL Fundamentals Ed 1 LVC
    * Oracle Database 11g: Develop PL/SQL Program Units
    * Oracle Database 11g: Administration Workshop I
    * Oracle Database 11g: Administration Workshop I Ed 1.1 LVC
    * Oracle Database 11g: Administration Workshop II
    * Oracle Database 11g: Data Warehousing Fundamentals"
    A modest Intro to SQL course will count? But an OCA will already have that knowledge. Obviously, one should choose a course with higher-level content. But I'm not sure I understand the logic of the OCA-grade courses being eligible. And for those funding certification without financial assistance from an employer, the question that suggests is this: what is the least expensive way to satisfy the "instructor led" course requirement? I cheapest price I see from Oracle is a 3 day class costing $1,800. It would also cost 3 days of vacation time, or unpaid leave, if an employer is not supportive of certification.

    Thanks for your thoughtful reply Hans.
    TO expose the candidate to techniques related to the new features rather than traditional techniques that are commonplace in the industry.That makes sense to me. But many of us like to tinker with new features on our own.In my experience, many, many more people want the OCP without doing any work. Some will use pure memorization or out and cheating to get there.
    It's unfortunate that you and I get penalized by those.
    >
    And to ensure that the has had at least some hands-on time, instead of only pure theory. While some people may get hands-on at work, many others do not
    have that opportunityh, especially in the are of new features.Then it might make sense for OCP certification to allow submission of proof of work experience in place of the HOC, as is the case with other professional certifications.
    Yes, that would be nice.
    But difficult to verify. and you would be surprised how many organizations have very narrow definitions of the job. Experimenting not allowed in some places.
    It all seems a bit random / superfluous. Sad, from an instructors and OCP's point of view, to hear you think of it that way.I don't mean to say there isn't anything new any of us couldn't pick up, say, even from an Intro to SQL course. There's a vastness to most technology topics and we can't master every facet. But the cost/benefit ratio may be terribly low for those who are already Oracle professionals with many years of on the job experience. The reality as well is that some instructors are duds--that's the case anywhere. And for my learning style, I prefer self-guided / on-my-own study.
    Costly too if one does not have an employer willing to pay for the training.No doubt.
    My Oracle Press "OCA/OCP Oracle Database 11g All-in-One Exam Guide" doesn't even hint that classes are a requirement for the OCP; the most said is: "The
    OCA qualification is based on two examinations; the OCP qualification requires passing a third examination." (pg. XXIX). An incomplete characterization, correct?A topic to discuss with the authors, and publisher. We (the user community with whom you are talking) have little to no control over this.Wonder if the authors participate in these forums. I realize you, as a user, have no control over this. But a book blessed by Oracle via Oracle Press, I respectfully submit, can and should do better--by including details about the HOC requirement.
    Some do. But much more effetive would be to lodge a formal complaint or inquiry.
    "These foundation courses meet the Hands On Course Requirement for OCP-Level certification:
    ...All of which will ensure you have had time becoming acquainted with SQLPLus, DBControl, and perhaps SQLDeveloper.I already use all 3 tools. Would love to take all the courses listed; but I'm not independently wealthy or otherwise.
    So would I. ;-)
    As well as logging in (you would be surprised how many OCA candidates do not know how), these all give you an opportunity to issue SQL and PL/SQL
    commands. Scary, but seems beside the point. The HOC requirement is one solution to this problem, but it seems like a sub-optimal one. Again, this punishes Oracle professionals already working in the field who'd like to become certified. Why is there no regard for them? One way to correct this, if this is a genuine concern on Oracle's part, is to include a "live" aspect to the exams. Then, if this causes a fail, those who flunk might be interested in taking HOCs to remedy this. In this day and age, I'm certain training could involve interactive SQL*PLUS sessions, etc. Only a failure of imagination and will could prevent I suspect; particularly in a world of virtualization. I'd consider a redesign of exams before I'd require people to pay for classes they may be unable to pay for. It's a bit of an insult to working Oracle professionals who want to add certification.
    I agree to some extent. Again, the issue is the consistency in experience. I have met people with 10 years of experience, and others with 10 times 1 year of experience.
    A modest Intro to SQL course will count? But an OCA will already have that knowledge. I wish this was consistently true. Then I mispoke. But the HOC still punishes existing Oracle professionals.
    I sympathize. I'm an independent, and all exams and certification costs come out of my own (corporate=me) pocket. But life in the professional fast lane is not
    cheap. This topic has been the source of some contention for quite some time.
    Unfortunately a number of people have been unscrupulous in their method of getting certification - cheating, using gunners, and so on - and I see this as one of
    the few ways to combat the issue. If the cheating issue is just left alone, the value of OCP (and any other certification) is effectively lost.The unscrupulous, I'm afraid, will always be with us. This problem is not solved, I'm also afraid, by requiring a costly HOC. It is in my opinion one potential solution of many, and not at all the best one. I wonder how other vendors with certifications handle this. I do know that some industry-generic certifications require proof of X years of work in the field (e.g. GISPs), as well as providing proof of various contributions to the field. This could be gamed as well I suppose. But the honest should not be punished along with the dishonest.Basically I agree with the sentiment. Implementation is the issue.
    >
    Bottom line: in my view, a few alternate solutions to the HOC are:
    1) Allow submission of work credentials to substitute for the HOC
    2) Incorporate hands-on aspects to the exam, e.g. a SQL*PLUS simulator.
    I'm sure the brilliant minds at Oracle, or a suitable contractor, could easily accomplish #2. And #1 might be a true bar-raiser. It seems highly unlikely to me that, say, requiring an Intro to SQL HOC course raises the bar more than a few millimeters.There have been many discussions around this. Several of us have even considered non-vendor certifications as a route to accomplish this.
    It is an imperfect world. But hopefully the steps will correct some of the deficiencies.
    I am sure Paul and the rest of the Certification team would be happy to hear more feedback on how to implement practical verifiable real-world experience alternatives to the HOC that do not increase Oracle's costs.
    >
    Since both are unlikely to happen any time soon, what is the least expensive option for the HOC and where do I find a list of courses and institutions that offer them? In my view, Oracle should provide this information as a courtesy. No reason not to unless there is a revenue motive; and the author of the blog posts you sent me assures us the addition of the HOC is not a revenue enhancement maneuver. I'd be more inclined to believe it if those words were backed-up with helpful actions like the one I've proposed--since such a thing seems not to exist.All courses and course locations are available through http://education.oracle.com (and have been available for years) as well as the price. Oracle's policy does not allow for much price variation for education. The exception is when bulk purchased are negotiated, which is outside what you and I can talk with them about.

  • 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,

  • 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
    OCP 9i "Hands on Course Requirement". They appear to
    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???
    Please send to my e-mail at [email protected] since I have been told by the IT department that the E-mail servers are going to going through some "Maintenance Updates"

    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)).

  • 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) .

    - http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=44
    The above page discusses the recommended training. But need to takle that training is 'recommended'[, not explicitly included/excluded.

    The above page is for fresh OCP and does not discuss OCP upgreade at all. (It DOES discuss OCM upgrade.)
    - http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=82#5Q1A (FAQ)
    This is now generated and no longer searchable. However the section on "Completing the Course Submission Form" does not include/exclude upgrades from requiring a new course attendance.
    "The Course Submission Form is the final requirement in obtaining *most* OCP and OCM certifications as well as some Oracle Expert Program certifications"

    You bring up a good point that this should be made clear on our upgrade page that training is not required for certification upgrade. We'll make that notation on this page to be more clear.Personal feeling is that training IS required to approach the upgrade exam. But I admit I am biased. ;-) perhaps something like:
    "A hands-on course, such as the Oracle Education 'New Features' course for DBAs is highly recommended when preparing to challenge the OCP upgrade exam. However the candidate does not need to submit a Course Submission Form to apply for the OCP Upgrade after successfully completing the upgrade exam and meeting the other prerequisites."

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The course needed for OCP

    hello,
    can someone please tell me, do I have to do the course from Oracle? Or if I went to some training course hosted by some other company (which is a lot cheaper), would that be ok too?
    The Oracle University course is just too much and I cannot afford it for at least four more months, so I do not know what to do.

    Only instructor-led inClass or instructor-led online courses from the approved list of Oracle University courses count toward the training requirement. Self Study CD-Rom and Knowledge Center courses are excellent study and reference tools but DO NOT meet the Hands-on Requirement for certification.
    Candidates must attend their approved course through one of these providers:
    - Oracle University Training Center, Oracle Authorized Education Center or Oracle Authorized Partner
    - Oracle Academy
    https://academy.oracle.com
    - Oracle Workforce Development Program
