Training by Type

A Range of Options Makes Training Available Anywhere
-- and Anytime

In a perfect world, there would always be plenty of time and money to send everyone who needs training to class. Unfortunately, in the real world resources are often limited. With this in mind, Oracle Education developed an array of training methods and tools to complement traditional classroom training. Choose one, or combine several to maximize your training budget and keep high-priority projects on track. In addition to saving time and money on travel, you will make the most productive use of staff time and ensure that training becomes a continuous process, rather than a one-time event.

Instructor-Led Training Choose instructor-led training whenever you need a combination of in-depth knowledge, hands-on experience and personal guidance from instructors who have experience in the field as well as in the classroom. Aside from attending regularly scheduled classes in our worldwide education centers, you may host on-site training. Oracle Education can help you tailor existing courses so that the exercises reflect your unique systems, or tailor Oracle Applications training to specific users' responsibilities. We can even help you create an entirely new custom course. If you have a large number of employees to train, we offer the economical option to train someone from your staff to deliver Oracle Education in house.

Media-Based Training A perfect complement to the classroom, Media-Based Training (MBT) brings a variety of structured, self-paced courses to any desktop in your organization -- making training accessible to a wider audience than you might be able to send to class. Like an online tutor, Computer-Based Training (CBT) encourages hands-on practice using real-world concepts and situations. Online Mentor provides in-depth subject coverage and detailed online reference support. Video-Based Training (VBT) effectively guides individuals and small workgroups toward specific goals by coordinating animated presentations with hands-on workbook exercises. We even offer CBT Administration Tools to facilitate Computer-Based Training in your organization.

The Oracle Channel When time and travel resources are limited, tune into The Oracle Channel for Oracle technical training broadcast live via satellite. Each interactive "classroom" links students from many remote sites with each other and with a highly qualified Oracle instructor. Two-way voice and data keypads give each participant the opportunity to ask questions, register feedback and share experiences in real-time. Enroll anyone who is new to Oracle technology in QuickStart courses. Drilldown courses examine an Oracle product or feature in detail. Advanced courses give database administrators and application developers an opportunity to explore complex issues. Technical Forums bring you the latest product information from Oracle's top Worldwide Support and Consulting experts. Subscription options allow you to receive broadcasts directly at your site.

Create a Complete Training Solution for Your Unique Enterprise Oracle Education is always ready to help you identify your training needs and recommend a plan that suits your particular situation. For example, you may choose to:

Maximize limited training funds by sending "lead project members" to traditional instructor-led classes and use Media-Based Training (MBT) to facilitate self-paced and small-group learning throughout your organization.

Get a "head start" on concepts and introductory skills by using Computer-Based Training (CBT) to preview new material before class. After class, return to CBT courses to refresh and reinforce concepts and practice new skills.

Cost-effectively update technical personnel on new technologies through classes and advanced technical forums broadcast on The Oracle Channel.

Provide Media-Based Training (MBT) libraries to make it convenient for employees to learn on their own time.

Require people to complete Computer-Based Training (CBT) courses before they participate in on-site training to bring the entire group up to the same level of knowledge and experience.

Meanwhile, the Future is Already Taking Shape As it does, expect Oracle Education to use exciting new technologies to create even more efficient and cost-effective training methods and tools. Someday soon, we expect to greet you in an online classroom and offer you Media-Based Training over the Internet. Our goal is to stay ahead of your training needs, so we can bring you closer to your goals.
