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).

 

Training Instructor

This Oracle DBA Training is conducted by our founder Srini Ramineni over ZOOM. But it is a LIVE instructor led training.

The training classes are every Saturday and Sunday for 48 hours over a period of 6 weekends.

A custom written training material PDF book of about 300 pages will be provided to each student.

 

Training Methodology

This Oracle database administration training course is delivered using a Digital Whiteboard like how teaching is done in a real physical classroom environment and therefore it is less focused on pre-existing PowerPoint slides. This course is prepared for the development of our own staff members and therefore the topics are heavily focused on practical application and real-world success.

The total cost is $699. This amount should be paid in advance at the time of registration for the training webinar using zoom. You can pay using your CREDIT/DEBIT Card, Bank Account (ACH), Google Pay (or) Apply Pay. We use Stripe for payment and therefore it is very secure. Click here to BUY.
