I agree, if you have no experience and take the exams it will give you some
level of knowledge about oracle. I have started taking these exams and
recognize one issue with getting certified. It's great and all, but it's
like any other test. You can study your arse off and pass with flying
colors, but 2 months later you will probably be looking something up in a
book that you knew on the exam. Just a thought.

Dear Viraj,
I can totally understand how you feel.
But I hope you can appreciate that it takes a lot of courage and
perseverance for a person who doesn't know Oracle to take any of the OCP
papers. Many of us have to do a lot of additional studies on top of the
Oracle training material inorder to move painstakingly from one paper to
another.
Everyone has to start somewhere. I think that anyone who can pass the OCP
papers, whether or not they have the practical experience, should be given
the credit, encouragement and opportunities.

I dont want to sound rude here, and my comments are NOT directed at you
personally.
What is the standard of these OCP's, when a person who has not worked with
oracle, can pass them, for the sake of discussion it does not matter which
tests they were? It seems doing an OCP is a complete waste of time!
