CED Solutions for OCA and SQL Certification
Hello All! Ive been working with Oracle and writing SQL queriesfor about 2 years. I am comfortable writing and fixing queries but I want to expand my knowledge more to include writing complex queries and learning more about the Admin part of Oracle.
I don't do any of the Oracle Administration as it is outsourced to another company. Basically if a user is looking for specific data, I write a query to find them their information.(Sorry for the long spill)
I am considering the bootcamp at CED solutions and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them both good and bad.

Hi. I just went through the MCSE bootcamp, and the experience was draining (physically AND mentally), but overall very satisfying. The material and resources were excellent. Our instructor was extremely helpful and willing to go into detail on any questions we may have had. He had no problems (within reason) about going back and reviewing previously discussed material, if it helped everyone understand and keep us going in the right direction.

I came to Georgia from out of state. CED arranged pretty much everything: flight, food, hotel, and transportation to/from school. I think this was a very important part of the boot camp, as outside distractions were kept to a minimum.

It is important that you are familiar with the material before attending, otherwise the pace of the class might be overwhelming. One person in my class was unable to take it all, and left mid course. Before I went there I had about 5 years of Windows Server experience, and began studying on my own at least two months before going to class. With this preparation and the training received, I was able to pass all 8 exams.

While there, be willing to work hard and study on your own (at least 3-5 hours a day). You will not get to go out and party or spend all night watching TV. Study ahead of time as much as you can (set up a lab at home if possible), that way you'll be able to ask the right questions in class and get the most out of this experience.

I just returned from the two week boot camp at CED to obtain my MCPD certifications. My experience there was great!!! Our instructor Suzy Moore was very knowledgeable and provided plenty of hands on and real world scenarios to help us wrap our brains around the various subjects. Everyone i enteracted with from the company was courteous and professional. I must admit it was hard work, but i would do it again in a heartbeat. Im actually considering going back to get my MCTIP for SQL Server. I was so pleased that if my company wont spring for it, i may pay for it myself.

Although I didn't go for SQL specifically, but I just finished a boot camp there for MCITP. Everyone I saw there who had been there for a previous class rated CED highly. I had a great instructor and would definitely consider CED when I have to update my certs. They have a high percentage of students who obtain their certification, which speaks for itself.

I went to CED solutions in May of this year. It was great.

I originally thought that when I would be going to a bootcamp that they would just teach us the questions and answers but I learned a great deal. I would recommend going; it is worth the time and money!
