RE: OCA
Apr 28 2008, 9:10 PM EDT Raja, I think its wonderful you are interested in joining the ranks by becoming OCA.The Oracle Certified Associate (OCA) credential is typically the first step toward achieving the Oracle Certified Professional and Oracle Certified Master certification. The OCA credential ensures that the individual is equipped with fundamental skills, providing a strong foundation for supporting Oracle products. I'm assuming you are interested in the database administrator certification patch. You can choose from Oracle9i, Oracle 10g, and now the Oracle 11g paths. If you are interested in become and OCA in Oracle Database 10g, you will need to take racle Database 10g: Administration I: 1Z0-042 exam. The focus of the exam will be solely on Oracle Database 10g Release 2 and the New Features. There are several different avenues to prepare. You can take the Oracle Database 10g: ministration Workshop1 offered by Oracle University, purchase the Self Study CD Course (NETg Oracle), or buy one of the Oracle Certification Exam books offered by Oracle Press at a bookstore. I have found www.bookpool.com to have some of the best prices for the material. No matter which direction you want to take, its best for you to already have experience as an Oracle DBA on 10gR2. Oracle has some practice exams as well on their website. Check out http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=143 for more information on becoming certified and what topics are covered in the exams. Good luck! 7 out of 8 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: OCA
May 9 2008, 1:40 PM EDT Of course practice, practice, practice. But I have found this site to be very helpful; http://www.ucertify.com/ They have some practice tests on it, but if you are willing to pay for the software, OCP or a bundle package for OCA and the next step OCP its pretty reasonable. It tracks your progress and you are able to design the tests to your weaknesses. Also with the test if you fail they will pay for the test, I'm sure there is some type of clause, but using this software I can say it works very well. Also using it you are able to see 'I didn't know I didn't know that' just work on these types of things in your current system you work with, relating it to your data will really help remember it during test time Good luck 0 out of 1 found this valuable.

RE: OCA
May 23 2008, 5:26 PM EDT Good luck. It took me 6 months, not working just full time studying, to pass the OCA (failed several times, both exams before passing). Its hard work but worth it. I got a job because of the OCA and Im now, a year later, slowly becoming trusted enough to be JUnior DBA at my firm and will finish my OCP studies in maybe three months. Go for it!! 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
