Common Mistakes

Well, I am an Oracle Certified Cloud Architect but I am not afraid to say that I failed in my first attempt. I hear 100s of students who come to our Training Program after their failed attempts and then go on to successfully clear the [1Z0-932] Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Architect Certification. So, let’s have a look at some of the common mistakes the trainees do while preparing for the certification exam:

1. Not understanding the theory or not working on all topics or referring to the old material (remember the material was changed in Decemeber, 2018).
2. Not doing enough hands-on.

Helping our trainees to avoid the above-mentioned mistakes is why we have 100s of success stories in our Training Program because we not only discuss the theory part but also provide a hands-on lab for each Module.

I am happy and proud to share with you that 100s of our trainees are now [1Z0-932] Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Architect Certified, and below are a few success stories:
