RE: ocp exam/when?

[Reddy, Madhusudana]

http://www.oracle.com/education/certification/index.html?dba9i_ocp.html   The above page shows ,   Candidates for Oracle9i DBA OCP must pass the following two exams as well as completing at least one Oracle University required hands-on course within the Oracle9i DBA learning path to obtain your OCP credential:   check out on the page , even I am not very clear about this ... but seems like you can not eliminate that HANDS ON from Oracle to get OCP credential....   --Madhu     -----Original Message----- From: Lyuda Hoska [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 4:06 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RE: ocp exam/when? Thanks.  I was scared... I am going to take it a step at the time and become an Associate first.  To me it is a good deal you become an Oracle certified (how sweet the sound) only after two exams. I'll move to a next level after gaining more knowledge and taking a little break from studying.   Just talked to a friend of mine.  He decided to finish his 8i first and then go for upgrade (trying to avoid that exam).  He is a consultant. I think my company would pay $2000 if I asked. Depends on the situation...   Buy the way; do you have any reference to Oracle official statement that it is required for Masters only?  I would appreciate it. Thank you.     -----Original Message----- From: JOE TESTA [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 2:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: ocp exam/when?   Check out education.oracle.com and look for certification.   the reality is unless you want to become an Oracle Certified Master(which you have to be Oracle Certified Professional first), then the 2K price tag will not pertain to you.   joe
