About Course
About Oracle Database Administration Training (OCP)
Administer Oracle Database 19c end to end: storage, PL/SQL, tuning, RMAN recovery, Data Guard standby and the OCP exam path.
Oracle administration is a reading habit before it is a command habit. A slow instance, an ORA-01555 undo failure, a standby that stopped applying – each one is explained by the alert log, the data dictionary and the background process trace, and the administrator who knows where to look answers in minutes instead of restarting everything. The course trains that discipline: instance and memory structures, storage layout, PL/SQL administration, index and optimizer behaviour, RMAN recovery, Data Guard failover, multitenancy, and the two OCP papers that test it.
Course Overview
12-week Oracle Database Administration and OCP training (72 hours) on 19c internals, PL/SQL, RMAN recovery, Data Guard standby, tuning and exam practice.
Why Learn Oracle Database Administration Training (OCP)
Indian enterprises run a great deal of Oracle estate, and it is old estate: 12c upgrades still on the backlog, 19c migrations with a cutover date, applications nobody dares rewrite. Employers hire administrators who can hold an instance, recover it and explain the plan behind it. The two OCP papers screen exactly that judgement, not the syntax.
The credential is the entry ticket to the Oracle track: without the professional papers an associate certification is a half line on a resume. Once the papers are done the record reads as administration work on enterprise systems, which is where the higher band of the role sits. The judgement behind it also travels to any other relational engine.
Who Should Join This Course
- Support Engineers and Junior DBAs — Owning instance health, backup and recovery without waiting for a senior
- SQL and PL/SQL Developers — Turning application code skills into administration and tuning work
- Migration and Upgrade Project Members — Moving estates to 19c without an outage nobody planned for
- Data Platform Engineers — Sizing memory, redo and storage against a real workload profile
- Fresh Graduate Trainees — Entering enterprise database work through the Oracle certification path
- Existing OCA Holders — Completing the second exam that turns an associate into a professional
Prerequisites
You should be comfortable with SQL queries and relational concepts, and you need access to an Oracle Database instance for the practice work. Oracle certification tracks have no blanket experience requirement, but the track itself assumes you can already read a query plan.
Learning Objectives
- Read instance, memory and storage structures from the Oracle data dictionary
- Create, resize and move tablespaces, datafiles and segments safely
- Write PL/SQL blocks, packages and cursors that carry out administration work
- Read an execution plan and defend the indexing decision behind it
- Run RMAN full, incremental and archive backups and a point-in-time recovery
- Configure a Data Guard standby database and fail it over under pressure
- Apply patches, plan an upgrade and manage pluggable databases on 19c
- Answer timed practice papers built from the 1Z0-082 and 1Z0-083 objectives
Certification Objectives Covered
The syllabus follows the published Oracle Database and OCP objectives: Oracle Database 19c, PL/SQL, Recovery Manager (RMAN), Data Guard, SQL Tuning Advisor, Automatic Diagnostic Repository, and the objective-to-topic map for the exam, the timed practice papers and the exam-day plan.
Career Opportunities After This Programme
- Oracle Database Administrator
- Database Reliability Engineer
- Data Platform Engineer
- SQL and PL/SQL Developer
- Database Migration Engineer
- Performance Tuning Specialist
Hands-on Practice and Capstone
Capstone: You are handed a 19c instance with no users, no tablespaces and no backup policy. Create the storage, the schema and the scheduled job, load the sample data, size the indexes to the workload, take a full and an incremental RMAN backup, then drop a production table by mistake and recover to the minute before it happened. You finish by building a standby database, switching over, failing over, and writing the runbook your on-call colleague will use at 2am.
Production scenario: A batch job failed at 3am, the instance was restarted in the wrong order, and the business wants the missing rows recovered before the morning report. Decide what you inspect first, which backup you restore, how far back you point in time, and what you tell the business about the data that was never committed.
Course Duration, Mode and Certification
The course runs for 12 weeks (72 hours), three sessions a week of two hours each. Modes: Classroom / Live Online / Hybrid. Certificate issued: SkilBrill Course Completion Certificate. This programme prepares you for the Oracle Database and OCP exam, which is booked and paid for with the vendor separately from the course fee.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Oracle Database Administration course cover?
The course follows the two Oracle University papers that make up the professional database administrator credential: Administration I (1Z0-082) and Administration II (1Z0-083). Eight modules take you through instance and storage architecture, PL/SQL for administration, index and optimizer behaviour, RMAN backup and recovery, flashback, Data Guard standby databases, security, patching and upgrades, and end with timed practice papers scored by objective.
How is this different from the PostgreSQL course?
PostgreSQL is an open-source engine with write-ahead logging, vacuum and autovacuum, and the course on the site teaches that engine end to end. This course is the commercial Oracle path: multitenancy, RMAN, Data Guard, pluggable databases, the Oracle optimizer and the Oracle University objectives. The tools, the failure modes and the credential are different, and the two stacks rarely meet in the same organisation.
Do I need an Oracle instance to practise?
You need one to get real value from the labs, and the course is written on that assumption. A free Oracle Database 19c or 23ai install on your own machine, a lab VM or a cloud trial all work. We use SQL Developer, SQL*Plus and Enterprise Manager, and the recovery and Data Guard modules assume you can restart an instance, break it and bring it back. Reading alone will not carry you through the exam.
Which Oracle credential do I earn?
Passing 1Z0-082 and 1Z0-083 earns the Oracle Database Administration Certified Professional credential, commonly called the OCP for the 19c release. Oracle awards that certification, not SkilBrill. We issue a Course Completion Certificate for the full 72 hours of instruction, and the course also maps the specialist papers on performance tuning (1Z0-084) and Data Guard (1Z0-076) onto the same lab environment.
Is this course for developers or for administrators?
It is written for administrators and assumes you can read SQL comfortably. Developers often take it because application performance problems land on the administrator desk, and understanding execution plans, indexing and undo saves weeks of guessing. If SQL is new to you, start with a fundamentals SQL track or the PostgreSQL course first, then come back to this one.
What is the duration and fee?
Twelve weeks, three sessions a week of two hours each, totalling 72 hours, with lab work carried out alongside the sessions. Fees run from Rs 55,000 to Rs 85,000 depending on batch and mode, with classroom, live online and hybrid options and placement support through 200+ hiring partners. The band sits above the other data courses because this path needs a licensed lab environment and a heavier toolchain.
What certificate do I receive?
A SkilBrill Course Completion Certificate for the full 72 hours of the programme, listing the modules completed and the assessment work you submitted. The Oracle certification is issued by Oracle University after you pass the exams, and the professional title stays valid only while the certification is current. We prepare you for the exam and mark your lab work; we do not issue the vendor credential.
