FAQs

Gain experience and capability with Oracle through our skills-focused training courses. From writing smarter code to developing robust applications, you’ll learn in an immersive environment with guidance from experienced Oracle specialists. 

What is Oracle SQL and why is it important?

Oracle SQL is the standard language used to query, manage, and manipulate data within Oracle database systems. It allows you to retrieve precise information, update records, and control database structures efficiently. Proficiency in Oracle SQL is essential for database administrators, developers, and analysts, as it supports accurate reporting, data-driven decision-making, and the smooth operation of business-critical systems. 

Do I need to know SQL before taking these courses?

Not necessarily. Some of our Oracle SQL courses are designed for beginners and start with the fundamentals, making them suitable even if you have no prior SQL knowledge. However, some advanced courses assume you already understand core SQL concepts. Checking the prerequisites for each course will help you choose the right starting point for your current skill level. 

What’s the difference between APEX 21 and APEX 23?

Both versions teach you how to build responsive web apps using Oracle APEX, but version 23 includes newer features such as push notifications, improved background processing, and enhanced template components. If you're already using APEX or want to explore the most up-to-date functionality, the version 23 course offers a more current and flexible toolkit.  

How can these courses help me work more effectively with Oracle databases?

These courses develop the skills needed to manage and query Oracle databases with confidence. You’ll learn how to write efficient SQL statements, optimise performance, and create reliable PL/SQL programs. By applying these techniques in realistic scenarios, you can streamline workflows, reduce errors, and deliver faster, more accurate results - making your day-to-day work with Oracle databases more productive and efficient. 

Do these courses help with Oracle SQL certification?

Oracle SQL Fundamentals, Oracle SQL, Oracle SQL Advanced, and Oracle SQL & PL/SQL Fundamentals all support preparation for the Oracle Database SQL 1Z0-071 exam, and when combined with further training, can help with Oracle Database Administration I 1Z0-082. 

Oracle Program with PL/SQL, Oracle PL/SQL, and Oracle PL/SQL Stored Program Units support preparation for the Oracle Database: Program with PL/SQL 1Z0-149 exam. 

While these courses provide essential skills and knowledge, successful certification also requires additional self-study, practice, and relevant experience. Exams are not included with the training.

What our customers say
Testimonial
Highly recommend

“This is now my second course with John at StayAhead and once again the delivery was simply excellent. I was a little bit worried coming in that I wouldn't have the requisite knowledge; however, I found that it was just about the perfect level between being able to understand the concepts and stretching the grey matter. Best fun I've had at work for a while now and would very highly recommend the course to anyone who's taking on more PL/SQL work in their job. Hoping to come back for more in the future!”
