FAQs
Our Oracle Database courses help you feel confident with practical skills across database administration, tuning, security, and development. Whatever your level of knowledge, if you work with databases, there’s a StayAhead Oracle course for you.
Do I need previous Oracle experience to take a course?
No. We offer beginner-level courses such as Oracle SQL Fundamentals and Oracle 19c Essential Administration, which are designed for those new to Oracle. These courses provide the foundations you need to progress to more advanced DBA topics.
What version of Oracle should I train in: 12c, 18c or 19c?
It depends on your environment and goals. Oracle 19c is the current long-term support version, so it’s ideal for those looking to futureproof their skills. However, if you’re supporting legacy systems, 12cR2 and 18c remain relevant.
Are these courses suitable for professionals already working with Oracle databases?
Absolutely. Many of our attendees are experienced professionals who want to sharpen their Oracle skills, deepen their knowledge of database administration or upgrade to a newer version. Our hands-on, real-world focus means you’ll return to work with applicable skills from day one.
Will your courses help me prepare for certification?
Yes. Our Oracle courses are designed to support certification objectives and practical role-readiness. While we don’t run the exams, the content helps you prepare for Oracle-certified qualifications in DBA and PL/SQL development.
