Oracle and MySQL learning resource for an OCP.

hi,

I am not that zero knowledge on oracle as I have attend Oracle 11g workshop,  and also have more and more knowledge of Oracle like topology and theory as well as weakness of Oracle. I DO NOT have hands on setting up RAC, dataguard, ASM and replication on  Oracle,.

Now I want to get Oracle OCP, for example, for 19c, any kind of resource/URL/video/book you oracle expertise can suggest me to read to pass OCP as easy as possible ?

12c, 18c and 19c is the version of focus.

I prefer online video training, as it is easier for me.

how about the same thing for MySQL ? I want to get OCP for MySQL too and I have a lot of hands on experience on MySQL , like replication, InnodB cluster , but NOT NDB cluster yet!

>>Instructor-led courses at Oracle can be expensive, but you can make significant progress under expert tutelage

For the OCP, an Oracle Education class is a requirement so the point is moot.

Step2 - Complete one of these courses
True. But one course is likely to be insufficient for full preparedness... So the point stands.
It's been a few years since I took the OCP exam but remember the Admin OCP questions more or less coming from the Admin Education class.

slightwv,

"https://education.oracle.com/oracle-database-12cr2-administration-certified-professional/trackp_073"

this says  the 12c cert expire soon, right? so I focus on 19C, any URL for the 19c training.

"Admin Education class."

what is this and how can I take it ?

Richard,

"You could try k21academy.com."

take this already enough to take OCP 19c exam ?

jtrifts,

"OracleBase.com is a fantastic resource"

enough for me to pass the OCP 19c course ?

", virtual classrooms"

what is the URL for it?

https://education.oracle.com/live-virtual-class-training-online?

this one do not have 19c related class.
>>any URL for the 19c training.

I don't believe they offer a 19c OCP yet.  Any training or certifications offered will be on Oracle Educations site.  What they have posted is what they offer.  There is nothing more I can offer.

You can use any other material you want to try and pass the OCP exam but you will still have to take at least one class from Oracle Education so might as well take the one that will help you pass it.

If you want to pay for additional education, that is up to you but I'm not aware of any boot-camp style training for Oracle certifications.
"I don't believe they offer a 19c OCP yet."

just have a workmate say a training center here train 19c and since 19c, it seems we do not need to do OCA before OCP, can do OCP directly.'

" take at least one class from Oracle Education so might as well take the one that will help you pass it."

MUST attend class from Oracle itself ? third party training center is not possible ?
>>just have a workmate say a training center here train 19c and since 19c

Oracle will eventually offer the 19c OCP so if you want to start studying for when they release it, go ahead.

>> it seems we do not need to do OCA before OCP, can do OCP directly.

I cannot say for sure.  I earnd mine MANY years ago when it was multiple tests to get the OCP so passing the first test or two already earned me the OCA by default.

I can only go with what is stated on the certification site now.

From the link I posted above:

Step1 - Prior Certification Requirements

Oracle Database 12cR2 Administration Certified Associate

>>MUST attend class from Oracle itself ? third party training center is not possible ?

I already posted the link that has the OCP requirements in my fist post:  #a42981596

I copied "Step 2" directly from that link.

Here is the text from "Step 2"
Courses can be instructor-led in-class (ILT), a live virtual class (LVC), training on demand (TOD), or Learning Subscription. Self-study courses (labeled as 'Self-Study'  in the course format) are great preparation tools, but do not fulfill the training requirement. Course must be delivered by Oracle University Training Center, Oracle Authorized Education Center, Oracle Authorized Partner Oracle Academy or Oracle Workforce Development Program.

If the 3rd party training meets those requirements, then it will count.  If not, then it won't.
" Course must be delivered by Oracle University Training Center, Oracle Authorized Education Center, Oracle Authorized Partner Oracle Academy or Oracle Workforce Development Program"

this does matter then.

can simply ask the training center.
I am wondering why that link do not have 18c !
