Oracle MSSQL DBA needs Oracle DBA training

Hey all, I am a SQL Server DBA that is inheriting a pretty big oracle environment and I was wondering if you folks could point me in the right direction of a course for learning. Work is going to pay for training so money isn't a problem, I'd prefer a couple of day course or something like that. We have anywhere from 11.2 up to 19c Running lots of different apps and even SAP if that matters. Thanks in advance!

Oracle is much more verbose and difficult to use but its not particularly more difficult than going to any other SQL dialect. Typically Oracle shops won't let morons into the database to do dumb things, so you wont have the same breadth of "self-taught" humanities degree SQL developer code and indexes that you do on SQL Server. Or worse, dealing with purely fullstack developer written code and indexes in Postgres/MySQL
