I still have not received responses for two inquiries I had for the lecturer. Some of the documentation in the slides and resources should be updated to reflect how links and websites might have changed since Oracle has moved to 21C. Lots of typos in slides.

Deeply obliged and sincerely thankful to you, Ahmed Sir, for sharing your knowledge with such clarity and generosity. Your course didn’t just teach—it made me truly understand. Grateful beyond words. ✨

Learning resources were organized well and easy to download and installed as instructed by the instructor. Instructor provided clear communication on how to setup learning resources.

I am only on about 20% into the course, however after taking a few Oracle courses, including two in college, I find this course gets to the core of what you need to know to become an oracle professional. From what I can tell so far, he is open with his knowledge, and tries to give the student the information one needs to succeeded.

By Ayodeji Ogunnaike on 8/19/2024

My experience taking this course has can be described as being great thus far and I look forward to learning more out of the course.

i have seen a lot of database oracle resources ranging from vidoes to blog articles but when it comes to organization of lectures and the manner in which you deliver and make the already downloable resources like step by step documents, prebuilt machines and even explanation of concepts is unrivalled. It shows your detailed passion for execellecne and with the view of really preparing students and make them job ready. you showed that you are indeed a man of over 20yrs of experience. i purchased your RAC, DATAGUARD AND GOLDENGATE as well because i was awe-struck by your comprehensive approach, patience and depth by giving the learners all they need to standout not just in knowledge but practical experience and also gives a bank of resources we can use as our library. this is incredibly awesome. you sir, are the best i have ever seen. so much depth and sauce. You taught with your heart. I was job ready but never have an idea much about ASM and RAC and currently I am learning it and can include those top skills in my resume. I have bought about 4 of your courses even when I have an understanding of the subject matters, but I feel I saw gems that could open my eyes more. what a pleasure to learn from you sir. I so wish I can have e someone like you as a mentor even from a distance. No words could be appropriate to tell you how impressed i am. i kid you not, you should be the best oracle database guy on Udemy by far and you tick all the boxes. The depth is incredible. even people that organize online classes can't teach the depth of the stuff like you do. thanks, you very much for this gift. A lot of people should be exposed to your lectures.

If you have little to no previous knowledge about Oracle DBA duties, this is a great course. The lecturer is clearly knowledgeable and he transfers information clearly. I would recommend this course.
