I briefly looked at the Web site you mentioned, and it seems (at least on the surface) that they teach enough of the concepts to pass the OCP exams. But
passing the exams is up to you! Other than that, I can't really say too much
about their courses without having taking them first hand. It just wouldn't be fair to you and the training company to elaborate further through speculation.
But I can give you some advice on the OCP exams. In order to pass the exams,
I suggest that you practice, practice, and practice. Read the Oracle
documentation and other books by a variety of publishers. In fact, there are
even books devoted specifically to the exams which will cover all of the exam topics. Download a copy of Oracle Personal Edition, and install it on a home workstation. Then play around with each of the concepts. Try to intentionally break things and then fix them. That is one of the best ways of learning how things work. In order to pass the exams, you need to know how things work otherwise you may have difficulties answering questions correctly.
Keep in mind that having OCP credentials is not necessarily going to start
you on the road to multiple job offers. It used to be that anyone with OCP
certifications could easily find a job. But many potential employers are now
favoring relevant job experience over OCP credentials. After you have passed
your exams, you may find it easier to get a job with your development
experience than your OCP status. Try to find an employer that will let you do development while getting your feet wet with DBA duties. That way, you can build up relevant experience to go along with your credentials!
Good luck on the exams and your future job prospects!
