Hi Everyone,

I am really excited about a new offering that we are announcing this week - Oracle Certification Exam Preparation Seminars. These are something that will make a big difference for many of you in your efforts to become certified and move your career forward. They are also something that have previously only been available (but very popular) to the limited number of customers who have attended our annual conferences in San Francisco (Oracle OpenWorld and JavaOne).

These are the first in a series of offerings that we are releasing over the next few months. So for those of you either preparing or considering Oracle certification - keep watching here on the blog, Facebook, Twitter and the Oracle Certification website for additional announcements related to our most popular certification areas.

Details of the new Exam Preparation Seminars are found below:

NEW: ORACLE CERTIFICATION EXAM PREPARATION SEMINARS

Becoming Oracle certified is a great way to build your career, gain additional credibility and improve your earning power. We know that the decision to become certified is not trivial. Our surveys indicate that people consider their time investment a critical factor in their decision to become certified. Your time is important.

In order to help candidates maximize the efficiency of their study time we are releasing a new series of video-based seminars called Exam Preparation Seminars. These seminars are patterned after the extremely popular Exam Cram sessions that until now have only been available at our annual customer conferences (Oracle Open World and JavaOne).

Beginning today they are now available to anyone, anywhere as a part of this Exam Prep Seminar series.

Features:

• Fast-paced objective by objective review of the exam topics - led by top Oracle University instructors
• 24/7 access through Oracle University's training on demand platform.
• Ability to re-watch all or part of the the seminar.
• All the conveniences of video-based training: start, stop, fast-forward, skip, rewind, review.
• Tips that will help you better understand what you need to know to pass the exam.

The Exam Preparation Seminars are meant to help anyone with a working knowledge of the technology get that extra boost to help them finalize their preparation, and will help anyone who wants a better understanding of the the depth and breadth of the exam topics and objectives.

Benefits:

• Save time by understanding what you should study.
• Makes you efficient because you will understand the breadth and depth of each of the exam topics.
• Helps you create a better, more efficient study plan.
• Improves your confidence in your skills and ability to pass the certification exam.

Exam Preparation Seminars are available individually, or in convenient Value Packages (which include the Exam Preparation Seminar, and an exam voucher which includes one free-retake if you need it).

Currently we are releasing two seminars - one for DBA SQL and one for DBA Administration I. Additional offerings are in process.
