Pricing of oracle training

am aiming for OCP but the requirement is a paid training from oracle.
i find the price quite high.
Is oracle currently reviewing the prices so that they become more affordable ?
at least for the self-study course.
the above is for :
Oracle Database 12c: Administration Workshop Ed 2 NEW

John's and Matthew's answers are good and I may repeat some of their answers.
(1) Self study courses do not count for certification training requirements.  Therefore waste of money for that purpose.
(2) It is a common disconception that the course to be taken has to be for example 'Oracle Database 12c: Administration Workshop Ed 2'.  But there are many courses satisifying the Oracle 12c DBA OCP training requirement; in fact a number of 2 day courses are now satisfying the requirement. In general cost of course is (number of days) * (min-cost per day) * (factor for advanceness of course, typically say 1.0 to 1.3?).
(3) Some countries are designated lowercost and the course may be taken cheaper there.  This can often help emigrants from a 'low cost' country who return there for holidays.
(4) Courses from Oracle University are usually delivered with high quality ( and may come with a 100% satisfaction guarentee).  Instructors are typically good.  ( I speak from having 14 days of paid course in UK over 25 years).
(5) There may be the opportunity to take one of the above qualifying courses delivered from an oracle approved education centre,  This may work out; and it can go very very very wrong.
(6) There may also be an opporunity to take a qualifying course from and Oracle Workforce Development Programme (O)WDP.  This is likely to be cheaper (the course should be sone over a few weeks) but the instructor quality may vary (That is not to say that some can be very good to say the least).  See https://workforce.oracle.com/pls/wdp_ekit/new_home.main.  I am usually loathe to recommend this because of problem people will have said in the past.
The institutions mentioned in [5] and [6] will always tell you how great they are (some will even say they ARE Oracle University) .... but caution is advised  .... see this somewhat old link ( https://blogs.oracle.com/certification/entry/are_you_getting_your_training ).  If anything goes what your dispute is with that institution and not Oracle.
You should also consider what you as a candidate need.  Would you benefit from the oracle backup and recovery practice and real lift experience given by an Oracle University oracle instructor in ''Oracle Database 12c: Administration Workshop Ed 2' ?
Or can you self learn the whole syllabus (from self practice, oracle press, oracle learning library) with prehaps a 'top up' of a short 2 day course on some subject?
Put another way:
I am presented with 3 candidates for a job all showing the same DBA OCP qualification.
- One shows he has attended Oracle OWDP course.
- One has attended Oracle University 'Oracle Database 12c: Administration Workshop Ed 2'
- One has attended a 'Multitenant course' at oracle university'
Who get thes job ?
The answer is ....
- [1] A lot of (other) factors will be taken in consideration.
- [2] You probably won't get this job without practical experience.
- [3] I am the only (certification) geek who would take the above into consideration ... and I would respect one with have a considered and class A critique of their reasons.  I'd need to check the ''Multitenant course' guy can really recover a database and setup good database backups; and I'd wonder the the OWDP guy had actually attended the course!

  • Beware of Oracle training offer from Oraknowledge

    If you get an email from a certain Ed Haskins of Oraknowledge.com about specially priced Oracle CD ROM training, do not make the mistake of purchasing these CDs.
    My credit card was charged on 2 Sept. I received an email to say that my order will be received within 7-10 days. One month later nothing came so I emailed to ask. No response. I sent an email a week later as a follow-up. No response. I sent an email again yesterday to Miranda and EdHaskins as well as their sales email addresses. Still no response. Interestingly Edhaskins mailbox bounced to say that his quota is over the limit (probably from the many unhappy customers who have not received their orders).
    So before you part with your hard earn cash, think whether it's worth the risk with a company that has a blatant lack of customer service and an arrogant attitude. There are more unhappy customers at this site:http://www.examnotes.net/article1022425.html.

    well you know what they say about special offers you receive in spam: if it looks too good to be true it probably is.
    I have been receiving spam from OraKnowledge long enough to see the mailings cycle through the list of templates. About once a year they press up a load of CD-ROMs for a client who doesn't want them, so OraKnowledge has to flog them cheap. Doesn't seem like a very sound business model to me.

  • Oracle training on demand - slow connection

    Hi,
    anybody else experiencing extremely sluggish streaming of the 'training on demand' -content?
    Incredibly annoying... My employer paid lots of money for this course, and it seems the bandwidth just isn't there.
    I have a very good connection, and can stream just about anything else without any issues at all.
    Thanks!

    Yes, Training On Demand is valid to fulfill the training requirement for certification as long as the course is listed on the page that Rene provided.

  • Need list of my completed oracle training

    Hello,
    I know there is an oracle or pearson website that lists all of my completed oracle classes. I was given the link from Oracle when submitting my information for OCP cert.  Does anyone know what that website is?  I lost my computer and all of my email archives are gone.  I have submitted an SR to the OCP team, but figure an answer might be received more quickly here.
