Yes, this is not a db related technical question, but still I would like to take the chance to get great replies by members.
One of my friend is planning to open an Oracle Training Institute (DBA Track) in my city (population 10 millions). At the moment the construction work is going on the site and we hope the institute will be operational by July-Aug 2012.
I just want to see your suggestation for :
1.From where we will get the study material/syllabus for students ?
2.Will oracle/Oracle University provide us any help or guidelines ?
3.Is there any kind of network/group of oracle training institute ?
4.what you will most suggest(apart from docs reading) to students ?
5.Guideline for good environment to studends for concrete studies ?
I suggested my friend that you should not take the approach of institute, rather you should have a vision of oracle school, where studends will get oracle knowledge in the level i.e. L1,L2,L3,L4 with half and yearly online exam pattern. I mean a student will take admission in L1 level, he/she will study and practice whole the year as
L1 DBA in the industry.
I know, we can get plenty of teachers by calling an advertisement in news paper and/or by hiring a consultancy company, but main issue is what should be a complete syllabus and exam pattern for all the 4 levels so that studends and teachers should remain smart busy whole the year in their studies and practices.
What is your opinion on this whole picture, just share your thoughts.
