Some people in the world of technology say that a certificate in Oracle database administration is like a license to print your own money. That may not be true, but people with Oracle training are among the highest paid in computer technology. Almost every industry uses databases to run its operations, and thus, the demand for trained Oracle database administrators (DBAs) keeps growing.

In fact, there are often more jobs than there are people with Oracle training to fill them. Many DBAs learn on the job, but those with formal Oracle training and a certificate receive much higher salaries.

The Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) Training helps the IT industry make these distinctions by establishing a standard of competence in specific job roles.
