java certification courses

There are loads of certifications to be done. I myself am appearing for SCJP 6.0 - Sun Certified Java Professional in september and trying my level best to prepare myself for it. The cost and centres for your exam can be obtained from the Prometric site. It took me about 140 $ to register for the exam, though you also sometimes get vouchers from certain institutes that bring down the price quite a bit. It is a challenging exam and requires diligent study. The amount of time you need to prepare solely depends on you and your current knowledge. Apart from scjp there are developer exams scjd,even j2me i think. Check out the Sun's website for a complete list of certifications available. I hope I was able to help you out.

Its really cool to do certifications in JAVA. One should get many benefits in future when you change the jobs. If you are already in Java, i mean if you are a student or programmer then i think there is no need to take any classes. You can do it by yourself. There are various learning paths like 1. Programming 2. Client Site Applications 3. Database developers 4. Web Applications using J2EE 5. Mobile Applications using J2ME These are all on Java basis. So it also depends on your interest.
