In brief
Under UK-Ukraine TechBridge, Ukrainians can study for free on Oracle University MyLearn and pursue certification. The programme targets about 8,000 participants through May 2027; when DOU reported it, roughly 600 people had joined and nearly 100 already held certificates.
What happened
Diia City told DOU about Oracle learning paths: AI and data, cloud and DevOps, cloud security, development (including Java and APEX), databases, and enterprise products. Study is online at your own pace: video, labs, knowledge checks.
Eligibility: Ukrainian citizens in Ukraine, the UK, Poland, or Czechia; aimed mainly at IT professionals and relevant graduates. Register via Oracle MyLearn without a VPN so the country resolves correctly. A free exam is requested at [email protected] after completing a path.
Commenters hit access errors; editors and Oracle reported fixes — retry activation if content stays locked.
Why it matters
Oracle tracks are often gated by price; TechBridge + Diia City lowers the barrier for cloud and data certification. For engineers it is a practical way to close gaps in SQL, OCI, and security without a separate training budget.
In practice
- Create or sign in to an Oracle account and activate the TechBridge programme page.
- Pick a path for a goal (certification vs a single topic), not “everything.”
- Skip VPN during registration.
- After the path, request the free exam at the TechBridge email.
- If you see “not entitled,” retry activation — the issue already showed up and was patched.
Takeaway
DOU’s news is a concrete window until May 2027: free Oracle learning and a path to a certificate for a limited set of countries. Claim a seat on a path while the quota lasts.
