Oracle WDP Guide
This Program Guide presents an overview of the WDP partnership including benefits,
requirements, resources available, budgeting information, ordering materials, and
instructor qualifications.
WDP training will prepare students for Oracle certification testing. With the widely-
acclaimed credential of Oracle certification, WDP students are readied for a variety of
entry-level Oracle job-roles as well as career advancement. For more information on the
value of Oracle certification, visit the Oracle Certification Program website at
http://www.oracle.com/education/certification.
As a WDP partner, your organization may qualify for the following benefits:
Requirements
• When teaching for certification, employ instructors who have passed OCP
exams: If an instructor is to deliver a WDP course and is teaching to certification,
we strongly recommend that the WDP instructor successfully pass the OCP
exam corresponding to that course. This is a quality assurance measure that
ensures the instructor is capable to guide students toward the certification
objective.
• Offer training to adult learners not businesses: The purpose of WDP is to
reach the individual learner who is seeking low cost access to Oracle training in
his/her local community. The WDP student candidate would not be sent by
his/her employer for Oracle specific training. WDP partners agree to provide
Oracle training for individuals seeking IT skills. These individuals can be
displaced workers, transitional workers or individuals reskilling for a change in
careers. The WDP partner cannot engage in contract training with businesses to
deliver customized Oracle training. WDP partners cannot engage in marketing
that promotes training to corporate audiences includes--but is not limited to--mail
campaigns that use information technology (IT) mailing lists and newspaper ads
suggesting that the WDP partner provides classes appropriate for business.
