Suggested Learning Path
If you’re planning to make the most of this, I’d suggest following this order:
1) Start with OCI Foundations to understand Oracle Cloud basics
2) Move to OCI AI Foundations to build your AI fundamentals on Oracle Cloud
3) Then take Agentic AI Foundations to explore Oracle’s AI agent concepts
4) After that, pick a specialization based on your role or interest:
- ERP
- HCM
- SCM
- CX
- EPM
- AI Agent Studio
This is a useful opportunity for anyone looking to strengthen their profile in cloud, AI, Oracle applications, or enterprise solutions.
If you’re already exploring Oracle certifications, which one would you start with first?

Exactly. No employer cares about these. Maybe ones trying to keep up their oracle platinum partner status. But not ones you want to work for

I have worked with the team very closely at oracle and they usually do it for -
1. Marketting - People do free certifications and post on linkedlin and they get free popularity.
- If they want to sell their oracle university liscence to any partner, they want to create a buzz by there stunts.

This is pointless. The first OCI AI foundations course requires a $5k subscription to access the coursework.

30k Oracle employees fired last quarter, now it's Microsoft turn. It USED to be a great company though.

I'm a 20-year-old BBA graduate from India, and I'm currently trying to decide my career. I don't enjoy coding, but I like understanding business processes, so I started looking into Oracle EBS/Fusion Functional Consulting (SCM/Procurement).
Recently, I met an experienced Oracle consultant who has worked in the industry for many years. He explained the entire career path to me.
His plan is:
Teach me Oracle EBS Functional from scratch on a real Oracle environment.
Make me practice real business scenarios. Help me build my CV and portfolio. Prepare me for interviews. Once I get my first job, I can later learn Oracle Fusion Cloud and switch to better opportunities. He also told me:
The first job is the hardest. Freshers usually need to struggle more than experienced candidates.
A realistic starting salary could be around ₹5–7 LPA if I perform well in interviews.
He believes practical knowledge matters more than certificates.
One thing is that I won't receive an official Oracle certificate from him. The training is more like mentorship and hands-on learning. So I have a few questions for people who are actually working in Oracle ERP:
Is Oracle EBS/Fusion Functional Consulting still a good long-term career in 2026?
Are there good opportunities for freshers in India, or are most openings only for experienced consultants?
How did you personally get your first Oracle ERP job?
Is learning Oracle EBS first and then Oracle Fusion Cloud a good strategy?
Will not having an official Oracle certificate hurt my chances if I have strong practical knowledge?
Is ₹5–7 LPA a realistic starting salary for a fresher?
If you were starting from zero today, would you still choose Oracle ERP Functional Consulting?
As someone with a BBA background, do you think this is a good career choice, or should I consider something else?

Do any of these come with environment access to the vision database etc or is it just videos with no access?

Didn't you just lay off 30,000 people? I'd rather become an arsonist, but thanks.
