DBA & KCC

Databases are used to store various types of data for organizations in formal structures using database management systems. Database systems range from the single-user, PC-oriented Microsoft Access to enterprise-wide systems such as Oracle. KCC’s Database Administrator program is designed for individuals looking to pursue a career as an Oracle Database Administrator (DBA) who performs such tasks as:
  • Designing and constructing databases
  • Administering user privileges and security
  • Performing routine backups and restoration

Our program offers a KCC DBA Certificate, as well as classes to prepare you to take the certification exams from Oracle to receive your Oracle DBA Certification. While the courses are designed to prepare you for a role as an Oracle DBA, the concepts learned can be applied to a wide range of database systems.


Qualifications:

Since this is a vigorous and accelerated program and the curriculum is fast-paced to simulate the pace of the industry, it is recommended that you:

  • Have at least two years of IT experience or at least two hours of Access database, three hours of programming design, and three hours of a programming language
  • Have a high aptitude for working with computers and software
  • Be as comfortable with a DOS prompt as with a mouse or Windows
  • Be highly disciplined, task-oriented, and able to maintain a tight schedule


What you will learn:

  • The areas of the Oracle database system: SQL, PL/SQL, architecture, administration, backup and recovery techniques, performance tuning, and network administration
  • Database theory and design for a firm foundation of knowledge


Why choose our program?

  • Prepares you for Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) certification exams by providing knowledge and skills through the teaching of theory, practical application, and hands-on projects to challenge you with "real life" scenarios
  • Provides an industry standard of technical training by certified instructors using state-of-the-art equipment
  • The cost for a KCC DBA Certificate is substantially lower than other DBA programs
