No self-respecting DBA would keep them in his table for obvious reasons - they are of little value for a working DBA
Exams are conceptual, and thus, obvious that the courses are mainly served for exam purposes.
On the other hand, DBAs may not pass the OCP exams even they have several years of experiences, because the mismatched expectation.
That's why Oracle finally comes up with OCM, which required hand-on tests.
