Oracle database administrator certification track
By obtaining an Oracle certificate, you demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the Oracle environment. Obtaining this certificate requires effort and a thorough preparation. A preparation that focuses on obtaining the certificate, but in which we want to teach the participants above all a practical understanding of the Oracle database system. Since certification should never be the only goal! So, ABIS presents this track for Oracle, preparing for formal Oracle certification.
This track will prepare your for the two exams required when focussing on the Oracle Database 12c Administrator Certified Associate (OCA) certification:
Oracle Database 12c SQL (1Z0-071)
Oracle Database 12c Administration (1Z0-062)
This track will prepare your for the first of the two exams required when focussing on the Oracle Database Administration 2019 Certified Professional certification:
Oracle Database Administration I (1Z0-082)
In this course, the participants will become familiar with:
- Technical aspects of Oracle: architecture, networking, storage, utilities, backup and recovery,...
- Oracle Security, Auditing
- Application aspects: Oracle objects, transactions, undo management, performance,...
- Oracle maintenance tools: overview and context
All aspects will be discussed in detail, putting them also into practice through different exercises and cases.
Schedule
Il n'y a pas de sessions publiques à ce moment. Nous organisons volontiers un cours en entreprise ou une session publique supplémentaire (en cas d'un nombre suffisant de participants). Intéressé? Contactez-nous.

Training method
For this track, ABIS is using a blended learning approach. Course participants will combine e-learning and self-study with classroom instructor-led training sessions.
- The self-study/e-learning will be based on e-learning modules on the internet, combined with literature from books and course handouts, all provided by ABIS.
- The classroom training sessions allow us to assess acquired knowledge, to clarify poorly-understood topics, to deepen insight into the subjects studied, and to provide for additional practices and labs. And on the final day of the track, we prep you for the actual certification exam!
All parts/modules of the certification track are well aligned, in form and content. The provided sequence of topics is well defined and described in detail. Instructors are available during classroom sessions, as well as for questions during self-study/e-learning. Assessment of the technical concepts acquired is achieved using different test methods.
Participants use their own PC - on which a virtual course environment is installed - for the entire blended learning track. This will allow them to use this course environment throughout any stage of this blended learning track.
For more information on the training approach used, please consult Blended learning.
Duration
12 days for classroom sessions with a typical elapsed time of 10 weeks.
Course leader
Sandy Schillebeeckx, Kris Van Thillo.
