Who it's for

This course is built for working Oracle DBAs and database professionals who want to get ahead on Oracle 26ai — the AI Database employers are hiring for in 2026. It suits DBAs upgrading their skills from 19c or 23ai, developers and data engineers who want to add AI Vector Search and RAG to their toolkit, and anyone preparing for interviews on Oracle's newest features. A basic working knowledge of SQL and Oracle administration helps you move faster, but each topic is built up from the ground so motivated learners can follow along.

What learners say

★★★★★

The AI Vector Search and RAG modules are exactly what my interviewers asked about. Being able to rewatch the embedding labs on my phone during commutes made all the difference. Lifetime access sealed it for me.

MLMei LinDatabase Engineer · Singapore

★★★★★

I upgraded from 19c and needed 26ai fast. The install and upgrade walkthroughs, plus the JSON Relational Duality section, got me confident in a weekend. The companion scripts are gold.

AAAhmed Al-RashidLead DBA · Dubai

★★★★★

SQL Firewall and TDE were always fuzzy for me until this course. The instructor shows the real commands and the keystore setup step by step. WhatsApp support cleared my doubts the same day.

Purchase & access

How do I get access after I pay?

As soon as your Razorpay payment is confirmed, your secure student-portal account is created automatically and the full course unlocks. You can start streaming within minutes — no waiting.

Is it lifetime access?

Yes. Buy once and your access never expires. Rewatch every lesson as many times as you need — including years later when a new release ships or you're prepping for an interview.

Can I watch on mobile?

Yes. Lessons stream in HD on mobile, desktop and tablet, so you can learn on your laptop at home and rewatch on your phone on the go.

Can I download the videos?

No — and that's by design. Lessons are streamed securely inside the portal rather than downloaded, which protects the content for every student. You still get to watch on any device, any number of times, for life.

What payment methods do you accept?

All payments are handled securely through Razorpay — UPI, credit and debit cards, and netbanking. Prices are in INR and are the final amount shown on this page.

Do I get a certificate?

Recorded courses don't include a completion certificate — they're self-paced, so there's no fair way to verify who has genuinely worked through every session. Our live training batches do include a course-completion certificate. What you get with every recorded course: lifetime streaming access, notes & scripts, assignments and WhatsApp support.

What is the refund policy?

Please review our full refund policy before purchasing. If you have any questions about eligibility, message us on WhatsApp and we'll help.

About the course

Is it live or recorded?

This is a fully recorded, self-paced course you can start the moment you enroll. If you'd prefer live instructor-led weekend batches taught by our senior Oracle DBA instructors, see our live courses instead.

Do I need prior experience?

A basic working knowledge of SQL and Oracle administration helps, but each topic is built from the ground up. Motivated learners moving up from 19c or 23ai will be comfortable following along.

Is support included?

Yes. You get WhatsApp mentorship support for doubt-clearing while you work through the course, plus companion notes and scripts for every module.
