Want to score a sweet job in data science? Here's how to learn Oracle on the cheap.

"Data scientist." That's just a fancy term for someone who stares at numbers all day, right? 

Well, not exactly. Data scientists are highly trained professionals who know how to examine numbers, find trends, and interpret them in a meaningful way. This expertise is really valuable in the corporate world when applied to big data — i.e., massive quantities of data accumulated by a company — because it can be used to inform (and reinforce) major business decisions related to customer relationships and the ever-important bottom line. 

As things currently stand, there's no better time to become a data scientist than, well, yesterday. With more and more companies relying on big data nowadays, the demand for data scientists is currently "off the charts," notes LinkedIn's most recent workforce report. 

Maybe that's the universe's way of telling you to enroll in the Oracle Professional Certification Training Bundle, a two-part education on the scalable, reliable, and incredibly efficient relational database management system that's a centerpiece of many data scientists' skillsets. By the time you've wrapped up all 24 hours of training, you'll be a data-wrangling pro who's ready to pass two tough Oracle certification exams.

Here's a breakdown of its learning lineup:
