Oracle University Introduces New Oracle® Database 10g Certification Program

New Oracle University Certification Program Enables Database 10g Certification
In Less Time; Adds New Specialty Certifications for Database 10g

Oracle University is offering a new, streamlined Oracle® Database 10g Administrator certification program, which is designed to certify Oracle Database 10g professionals in less time than previous versions of the certification program. Based on the recently available Oracle Database 10g curriculum, the new Oracle Database 10g Administrator certification program requires only 10 days of in-class preparation and just 2 exams for certification at the Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) level, compared with 20 days and 4 exams for previous versions.

The Oracle Database 10g certification program enables database administrators (DBAs) to pursue three certification levels: Oracle Database 10g Administrator Certified Associate (OCA), Oracle Database 10g Administrator Certified Professional (OCP) and Oracle Database 10g Administrator Certified Master (OCM). Each level is designed to validate and recognize progressive degrees of competency with Oracle Database 10g technology, usage and concepts.

Oracle University is also announcing new Oracle Database 10g Administrator Special Accreditation program to formally recognize the increasingly specialized knowledge of Oracle Certified Professionals in important database administration skills such as high availability, security, IT consolidation and Grid control. OCPs who pass the special accreditation exam will receive a certificate that formally recognizes their specialized competency. The first Oracle Database 10g Special Accreditation will be the High Availability Special Accreditation, scheduled for release later in 2004.

"By leveraging the innovative and automated features of Oracle Database 10g, Oracle University has significantly reduced the cost and time to train and certify," said John L. Hall, Senior Vice President of Oracle University. "The automation and efficiency of Oracle Database 10g, coupled with Oracle University's training expertise, enables our customers to be trained and certified in less time than ever before, and to focus on specialized IT skill sets. For database professionals, this means more productive time on the job, and expanded career choices."
