Here is their quote:
" You can pass the exams 1Z0-877 & 1Z0-878.
As a part of the Hands on course Requirement process it is compulsory for you to attend at least one of the approved courses offered at an Oracle University center or at an Oracle Authorized Education Center or Partner.
To view details regarding the Hands on Course Requirement, visit
Certification Hands on Course Requirement and for a list of selected courses which will meet this requirement, visit
Certification Approved Courses .
The Hands-on course requirement form is online, which includes fill in items to submit the course attendance information. This type of form is necessary to enable the creation of the course attendance into the certification rule set and to easily insert the course record into the certification database.
Kindly note that only instructor-led in-class, online, or recorded courses (includes Live Web Classes – LWC, Live Virtual classes – LVC and Training On-Demand courses) from the approved list of Oracle University courses count toward the training requirement. Self Study CD-Rom and Knowledge Center courses are excellent study and reference tools but DO NOT meet the Hands-on Requirement for certification.
For further queries we request you to please raise a new Support request at
Oracle University - Support Form. We will be happy to assist you.
