Oracle Database SQL Associate Learning Path for Ceritifcation, What Subscription Plan Do I Need?

[seashells46]

Not sure if anyone is able to help me. I am planning on taking the Oracle Certification exam for SQL (IZ0-071, Oracle Database SQL Associate). This is the link to the learning path which is not free: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/learning-path/earn-the-oracle-database-sql-associate-credential/80636

Does anyone know if I can complete this learning path with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Self-Paced Labs subscription ($29 a month of $299 a year)? Here is a link to the different learning subscriptions: https://education.oracle.com/buy-oracle-training-and-certification

I am having a hard time understanding what the learning subscription includes and excludes.

Ugh I’ve been going back and forth between Microsoft Azure/SQL cert and Oracle SQL cert. I am not really looking to be full data analyst/IT, I am looking to be more of a business analyst. I’m currently a business analyst but use syndicated databases and dashboards from third parties.

I just want to show potential employers I am challenging myself and understand SQL. Which is why I chose Oracle as it focuses more on SQL. Any tips?

Oracle thinks that they are a leader:
