OCM 12c Preparation - Course requirements

There are 3 things to remember here that are very important:

  1. "Courses used to fulfill the OCP training requirement may not be used again to fulfill the OCM training requirement."
  2. "Courses can be instructor-led in-class (ILT), a live virtual class (LVC), training on demand (TOD), or Unlimited Learning Subscription. Self-study CD and online courses are great preparation tools, but do not fulfill the training requirement."
  3. "Course must be delivered by Oracle University Training Center, Oracle Authorized Education Center, Oracle Authorized Partner Oracle Academy or Oracle Workforce Development Program."

You can check the list of the acceptable courses for OCM here. However, in the official Oracle Database 12c Certification Path page there are a couple (currently 5) more accepted courses than on the first list.

One course that I do recommended for this exam is the "Oracle Database 12c: OCM Exam Preparation Workshop". Unfortunately it's available only as LVC.

The other course can be any of your choice that is on the link, but focus on 12c DB and also in some skill that you don't feel being Chuck Norris yet.

After you finish both courses, submit them following this steps. Don't forget that OCM candidates should submit 3 forms – one for each required course and the 3rd “shipping form” to provide their size and mailing address to receive the OCM apparel item. This last one is crucial as it triggers processing of the success kit. The 3rd form or “shipping form” is also submitted exactly like the course submission form, but only after you do and pass the exam.
