I never went to college or university. If you do not have a post-secondary education we recommend that you think seriously about what will be required from you to complete this course. That is in the time needed, in your ability to learn, in your ability to understand the material presented and the self-motivation necessary. English is not my first language. Many of our students are recent immigrants.
Instructors try to speak clearly and distinctly but it is a fast-paced course.
You must be able to read speak and understand English fluently. If you wish to be able to practice at home, using a computer with capabilities similar to the workstations in our Lab, you will need to have at least a Pentium 133 or 166. However a Pentium 200 is preferred. A typical installation of the Oracle database will require 96 MB of RAM, but 128 MB is preferred. Installation of the Oracle database requires 664 MB of hard disk space.
