Quarter-end Guidelines for MySQL Online Ordering

Review this quick guide here to help you ensure a smooth quarter closing for MySQL online orders.

Become a MySQL Training Partner - Resell or Deliver MySQL Training

MySQL Partners can become Oracle University Training Partners, reselling or delivering MySQL Training. Follow these 3 paths to book more revenue:

• Resell Learning Credits. As an OPN member, under your FUDA agreement with Oracle, you can start reselling learning credits immediately.
• Resell Oracle University Courses. In addition to FUDA, you need to sign the Education Distribution Agreement. This gives resellers 15% discount on OU courses and 30% on self-study materials (such Oracle's streaming video offering - Training-on-Demand).
• Deliver Training. An Oracle Approved Education Provider Agreement allows partners to become Oracle Approved Education partners. These partners receive 50% share on net value of bookings on courses. As a partner you pay for costs of instructors, room, delegate lunches, refreshment etc.

For more information, contact Oracle University. You can see the contact name for your geography on the Education Section under the DEVELOP tab of the MySQL Knowledge Zone.
