I have been doing Oracle admin for about 6 months now. I have literally
spent a couple hundred hours RTFM and reading books. I feel that I have
gotten much better in my understanding of Oracle, BUT, I would not consider
myself an Oracle guru or anything close to it, which is obvious from the
number of questions that I post to this list. I want to keep learning but
that will take time and experience. I would not waste $250 on an 8 hour
course. I cannot see how they can cram that much info into such a small
session. Spending your money on some good Oracle books would be a wiser
investment.

I can only imagine.
Perhaps they have them circled around a tree ;)

Chris,
Come-on! Never heard the phrase "There's a sucker born every minute - and
two to take'em"? The good news is that it "only" costs $250. You get what
you pay for.
PS. "they have no overheads" - what does THAT mean?

I would be curious how one can obtain to be "amoung the best" after a single
7.5 hour course which I assume has an 1 hour lunch when most training does
similar in about 80-180 hours.
There is some smart people in this world, and I found out I am not one of
them, but trying to tackle this list of objectives I just can't see possible
in 6.5 hours.
