Mr. Ahmed is a perfectionist. This course (as all his others) are just packed with useful information. I highly recommend this course and I wish I had these courses 12 years ago as I was starting with Oracle DBA. I've been doing Oracle database for 12 years and it keeps drawing my attention to new things. I've finished 60% so far because it's just so interesting and I want to try things out. This course is way beyond expectations. Just get it and you will get your money's worth!

truly its very powerful course which helps students and individuals to gain more understanding for next generation oracle 19c database backup and recovery.. this course covers all area in understanding oracle backup and recovery , the good part is that any oracle dba must keep in mind, cloning database is essential to be successful oracle dba, and actually you will be asked in anyway to duplicate database in a different machine and document it all the steps...Anyway well done by Ahmed baraka

You helped me on my path and achieving my goals and dream, thank you for all the knowledge and experience you shared. I’m grateful to have such an awesome teacher like you. I look forward to another great course from you. BR Majid

Your courses have really helped me in improving my knowledge. Although I already knew most of the concepts, I had never learnt them in such a orderly manner. So, the concepts are more clear to me now thanks to you. I have already subscribed to your rac, rman and database performance tuning courses which has helped me a great deal by the way. I have explored some other courses of yours as well , will definitely enroll for them once I complete the ones I already enrolled for. On a side note, would you be launching any course on database upgrade ( best practices and everything ) ? I would definitely like to learn that from you. thanks regards Akshay

The instructor is so concerned to explain even the smallest of the details, which is truly a hallmark of good teaching in online platforms which enables even less skilled pupils to grasp things easily.

Die langsame Sprachgeschwindigkeit und das gesprochene Fernost-Englisch machen es nicht leicht, die Konzentration aufrecht zu erhalten.

I appreciate the great work done by Ahmed. He is such a wonderful instruction explaining the course and subject in details. I would love to see Ahmed to include Mock tests and tricky interview questions at the end of the course to make students more confident on the subject.

I am in the process of obtaining my OCM 12c and have taken purchased all of Ahmed Barakara's Udemy courses. The only one I've yet to complete is Oracle Golden Gate. Ahmed Baraka produces the best Udemy courses that I have ever taken. The labs are almost as good as having professional experience. I've used Ahmed Barakara's methods to create a PSB database that employs an ASM file system whist the primary database has a Linux file system. This is for our migration from the Linux file system to ASM. As I live in Abu Dhabi from 2010 to 2015, I have no trouble understanding Ahmed Baraka's accent.
