Oracle DBA Training course
Why become a Database Administrator
Are you ready for Learning again ? Unlock your potential in the Information Technology “evergreen” field called Database Administration (DBA). AI will not take away a DBA’s job. Start your career and retire as a Database Professional (provided you put in the effort and work hard).
SQL (Structured Query Language) is a prerequisite for this course and we hope you know SQL. If not, we do offer an SQL course too (a set of 20 recorded video lectures with lab work).

Cajethan Numfor2022-10-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the right place to clearly understand the concept of Oracle database administrator, with detailed hands-on experience and real world best practices. Excellent remote lab machine for practice and exercises that fit with real world practices in every environment. If you want to be the administrator who ensures zero data loss, high performance throughput, low latency and tight security strategies, this is the right place for you. Dennis Lowe2022-10-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My former employer, SUNY Canton, arranged for me to take two courses with DBA University. Although I have worked in RDBMS for nearly 40 years, I learned quite a bit of new information, as well as re-learned a lot. The presentations were first-rate, as were the study materials. I had one minor technical glitch with the virtual machine I accessed to do the work, and it was very promptly addressed by the instructor. He was very conscientious about getting back to me when I had questions / needed further clarification. Eric Schmidt Rodríguez2022-08-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The training course has been very good explained and described by Srini. He managed to make every technical training lesson easy to understand thanks to his explanation, examples on real world and applying the useful scenario and key areas along with practical work lab, which is the best way to consolidate knowledge learned from each training session. I´m very happy and satisfied to have followed all the classes along a best talented teacher like Srini, and can ensure I will continue to study in DBAUniversity. Krishna Mohan Denduluri2021-03-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend this course. I have recently finished Oracle DBA training course from DBA University. Srini is a very well experienced teacher with hands on industry experience. He explained the DBA concepts very well with real time concepts & LAB examples.This course is also updated with latest Oracle 19c videos, upgrade from 12c to 19c etc.. G. Adu2021-02-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was part of an online Database Administration, RAC and Data Guard class in June 2019 and this class was so worth it. At DBA University, you will not only feel very welcome and comfortable but also confident in your career after the class. Our instructor, Srini is very knowledgeable in the vast IT field. His in-depth knowledge never left my questions unanswered … whenever I go to him after class. He uses student questions as teaching moments to further expand our understanding of the database administration concepts. I built confidence, that was really lacking in the beginning through Srini’s calm assurances and gentle nudge which always comes as motivation and inspiration to work hard, practice more, ask questions… I came out feeling, “ I’ve got this…”. Srini’s constant encouragement, mixed with his profound knowledge, excellent teaching skills and a nudge for more hands-on approach (LAB Work), really did it for me. It enables a better grasp of the DBA concepts one will need to pass certifications and also utilize in the real world. I highly recommend DBA University. Srini will patiently work with you, answer questions even beyond the class so you do not feel overwhelmed, lost or alone, sifting through a pile of hay. Also, you cannot beat the tuition, which is very worth it, considering the career you’ll have in the field. Do not hesitate; call him. You will be happy you did! Thank you Srini! Rauf Asadov2020-08-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I liked the way Srini explains main concepts by simplifying them and giving analogous examples. I also was impressed by lab works provided by DBAUNIVERSITY. Can't wait to take RAC course. Luiz Marinho2020-05-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the opportunity to meet this course and this excellent teacher. I recommend this company, as Professor Srini Ramineni , I have no words to express. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.

Great materials excellent teaching looking forward signing up for other courses , Thank you Srini Corey Mundell2020-04-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is great training for a beginning DBA. I only wish I would've found it sooner. Srini does a great job of explaining things well in his videos and if you need further explanation he is quick to respond. I highly recommend this if you are new to the DBA position and want to learn Linux and Oracle in depth. Vujwal Chalasani2020-04-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Srini is very knowledge full , the course work lab material he provides is very useful not during the time of course but also in real time.
