Hi=20 Oracle Uni has upgrade plan, 2 versions up for your case you just need 2 = exams (2 courses) first you upgrade to 8i (you skip 8) then you upgrade to 10g (skip 9i) Sinardy -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Tony.Adolph@xxxxxx Sent: 15 December 2004 08:39 To: ORACLE-L; oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Oracle training Hi all, It happens to all long term contractors eventually.... after nearly 6=20 years in the same post I've been told I'm not getting a contract = extension=20 after March. So I reckon its about time I brushed up my skills a bit=20 ready for my next epic. I haven't had any formal training for a few=20 years when I did Oracle 8i Performance Tuning course and the Distributed = Systems course. I did the DBA course in version 7, 8-9 years ago. I = did=20 a Financials couse about 7 years ago, I think that was versin 10.7, but = I=20 really cant rememeber (the version or the contents of the couse - not = used=20 it for 6 years). I am looking for a bit of advise from you: I am currently living in Germany and would like some recomendations for=20 courses, i.e. which couse and location. I've just found this on the net = whcih looks very interesting:=20 http://www.koenig-solutions.com/training/boot_camp_uk.asp?currid=3D7 = anyone=20 had any experince here? It looks good value for money. As the usd is currently very weak agains both the euro and pound, does = it=20 make sense to make the course(s) in the US? I was looking at OCA / OCP. Pointers appreciated, Cheers Tony -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
