Oracle<\/a> is offering free worldwide training and certification<\/a> in its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure<\/a>. Learners now have free access to the company’s entire learning curriculum across all skill levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The training catalog<\/span> includes courses at all levels across a range of IT roles, the company said. It includes preparation courses and practice exams to prepare people for testing and gives learners access to live sessions and personalised<\/span> feedback. Career resources will also help people to secure jobs with their Oracle Cloud Infrastructure skills.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The online courses are available on demand in 13 languages. They include hands-on labs so learners can test their skills in a simulated production environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the cloud training is available at no cost indefinitely, there is a time limit on the free certification. Learners can only get certified from the Oracle University for free until December 31.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Launched in 2016, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure<\/a> is the company’s cloud computing<\/a> service. It offers infrastructure, platform, and software as a service (SaaS)<\/a> options. It also offers Oracle Data Cloud, which offers analytics services.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company’s cloud service hasn’t seen the same traction as its competitors. Gartner placed the company in the \u201cniche players\u201d section of its latest public cloud infrastructure magic quadrant<\/a> behind Alibaba Cloud. Google, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services<\/a> sat in the \u201cleaders\u201d’ section. Synergy Research Group placed<\/a> the company eighth in market share terms based on its Q2 2021 research.<\/p>\n

Oracle also lost its bid for the Pentagon’s since-disbanded JEDI cloud computing contract.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year, German company Union Asset Management AG sued<\/a> the software giant for allegedly misleading the market on its cloud revenues and bullying customers into cloud migrations with a strategy called Audit, Bargain, Close.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time Oracle has run free training. It also offered<\/a> free Oracle cloud courses in spring 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n
