Oracle Self Study Course - Any good?

Hi
We are upgrading from 9.3 to 11.1.2.2 and was looking at the courses oracle offers for our power users. After playing with it some I don't think we need a full class and looking at getting a couple of users the self study course. Does anyone have an opinion on them?

The self study courses are pretty good, especially if you put in the time with them. 11.1.2.2 is significantly different than 9.3 (especially if you utilize EPMA) and you might consider at least one of you taking the live training. It would probably be worth the investment to be able to interact with other students and the instructor. You might find quite a bit of value in some of the new functions, some thoughts on how to best utilize the "unlimited" customs, and some pros/cons of different ways of upgrading.

Oracle self study - satisfy requirement for PerformanceTuning Cert Exp?

If I was to buy the "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning" self study CD does that satisfy the training requirement for cert "Oracle Database 11g Performance Tuning Certified Expert"? Or do I have to take an instructor led course? It appears that it does satisfy, but I want to be absolutely certain before I throw down $1,650 for it.
Thanks, Brad

Self study CDROMs are never acceptable to satisfy the training pre-requsite requirement
Only OU classroom classes or LVC/LWC (Online) classes are acceptable (For some certifcations workforce / academy or OAEC delivery of OU training can be acceptable ... but check carefully to avoid being caught out).
As an alternative pre-req 11g DBA OCP certification removes the need for this training requirement (though this has its own training requirement):

Looking at your first reference I can possibly see the ambiguity

Self Study CD - Multiple students allowed?

I'm considering to buy the new OCP 12c New Features Self Study Course (Oracle Database 12c: New Features for Administrators Self-Study Course | Oracle Database 12c | Oracle Database | Databas…)
Would this allow me to have several of my companies DBAs trained with that CD? Or is it somehow tied to one person only? I didn't find any legal online documentation regarding multiple usage of the self study CDs.

If you want to search the data inside Oracle, you'll want to look at Oracle Multimedia.I think the correct answer is "not efficiently". :-)Well, there is nothing that prevents you from building Oracle Multimedia yourself and getting similar levels of efficiency.

Oracle BI Suite EE 10g R3: Create Reports and Dashboards Self Study CD

Hi All,
Has anyone used Oracle BI Suite EE 10g R3: Create Reports and Dashboards self study CD? Any comments...
Thanks,

OCP 10g: is the self-study-CD an alternative of in-class or online course?

May I simply order the self-study-CD hier:
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/show_desc.redirect?dc=D21206
study all from id, successfully undergo 1z0-043 exam, send to Oracle the hands-on form
and become OCP?
I mean, without must pay for an expensive in-class or online course?
P.S. now I am only OCA-DBA 10g. (=my 1z0-042 was OK)

Self Study CD-Rom and Knowledge Center courses are excellent study and reference tools but DO NOT meet the Hands-on Requirement for certification, with the exception of the Migration.

1Z0-043 Oracle DB 10g: Admin II Self Study CD has many errors

Many slides have errors in 1Z0-043 Oracle DB 10g: Admin II Self Study CD. I keep trying to report these to Oracle Education and I am getting the runaround. Does anybody know if in these cases you should answer it wrong like the Self Study CD tells you it should be, or when they grade the test do they really know the correct answer. The most blatant case of this is a slide in the Post Assessment of "ASM and Materialized Views", "Materialized Views", "Distributed Data Technologies". The slide in the Post Assessment has the description "Match the different distributed data technologies with their descriptions". Out of 4 pairs to match, all 4 are wrong compared to what it says in the course material just before it! Please HELP! This is just one example of many errors on this CD. Do you have to answer these questions wrong when you take the test?

Hi,
Please note that the Certification Team does not create the self-study CDs. I am sorry you are having difficulty with these CDs. I can assure you that you should NOT intentionally answer questions incorrectly on the test. The certification tests are not taken directly from training materials.

Searching book "Oracle performance 11G - Self study guide"

Hello all,
I'm searching hardly the course "Oracle performance 11G - self study guide" to download.
It's shorter and speaks about the essential things ... unlike the standard guide "Oracle® Database Performance Tuning Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2)"
I's impossible for me to buy it, because of his price about 1500$.
So I'm asking if someone can lend it to me, or tell me where I can download it ...
Thanks in advance.

Hi;
Did you try to use google? Please see:

Schema for Oracle SOA Suite 11g: Build Composite Applications self study cd

I purchased the self study CD on subject Oracle SOA Suite 11g: Build Composite Applications. I like the class so far, but I am unsure if the class exercises come with the CD, which seems to contain mostly flash and web material for the course. Does anyone know if the SOADEMO schema comes as a default with the Oracle SOA Suite, or if not, how a person might get those exercise prerequisites/ oracle schema create scripts?
.

You may want to check with Oracle University http://bit.ly/14ivVR.

Online study course, ebooks available .azw3, .epub and .mobi. Will any of these be read by Ibooks?

Online study course is offering ebooks instead of online. Versions of ebooks are azw3, epub and mobi. Does Ibooks read any of these versions?
Thanks Sandy

iBooks does. I use Dropbox to transfer my .epub/.mobi files, just upload them, access them on the iPad, then share it to Books.

Self Study CDs, Classroom...?

Hi -
I've been using the all-in-one 10g OCA/OCP Oracle guide to sudy for OCA.
Would anyone give a specific recommendation for augmenting this with the self-study CDs or even classroom training (Oracle U)?
The book alone is perfectly comprehensible.
But my concern is that only CDs or, more likely, the classroom, is going to insure that I get the full range of the current material that the is covered in the test.
Thanks,
David

David,
I attended the two classes at Oracle University (10g Admin I & Admin II), and I used the same reference to pass the exams and clear my 10g OCP. The instructor himself recommended the "All-In-One" exam guide in addition to the course material.
For me, I can say that this reference was really helpful in clearing the exams and getting the certificate. Just make sure you cover the Exam Topics in the exams links.
