Oracle - Cyber Networks

Track Overview
The Oracle8i Certified Database Administrator Track is a certification path that results in the award of a credential to proven performers in the role of database administrator. The track consists of five tests designed so you can translate your knowledge and skills into a tangible, well-recognized professional certification.

The Best Database Administrators (DBAs)

Operate primarily behind the scenes.
Watch for ways to fine-tune day-to-day performance to prevent unscheduled crises, such as a crashed database or hours of expensive downtime.
Know they stand between optimal performance and an event that could bring their company to a standstill.

This critical work requires a broad understanding of the architecture and processes of the Oracle database, as well as plenty of hands-on experience solving problems.

Candidate Qualifications
Most candidates for DBA certification combine up-to-date training with some level of on-the-job experience. There is no "typical" candidate. If you are seeking certification to gain entry into the IT industry, you will need more than training to earn the credential. Many of the questions in the OCP tests are based on realistic job scenarios. In addition to the appropriate training, you will need hands-on experience with the software.
