Certification | | | SunMicrosystems provides seven areas of Java certification:
- Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP)
- Sun currently offers certification in both Java 2 SE 1.2, 1.4 and 1.5. For 1.4, Sun has dropped the AWT testing objective but this is made up with more questions on other exam objectives. Upgrade exams can also be written for anyone who has passed a previous version and wish to become certified in a later version.

| | | Consider the difference between say MCSD/MCSE and Java training. For the MCS exams the 'correct' answer is a political thing, and bears little (or in some cases no) resemblance to the actual state of the technology in question. So long as you have a vague idea of what the correct answer would be 'in an ideal world' you can easily get close to a passing mark with only passing familiarity with the actual technology. Whereas with the Java exams not only do they tell it like it is, but the questions are deliberately hard and designed to trick and trap you if you don't know how it actually works in the real world. This is a huge difference.
Ironically, it seems that in the real world the MCS[E|D] is perceived as having great value, whereas noone seems to value the Java exams. | |

I beg to differ. While this may be true of certification in general, it fails to capture the distinctiveness that is Java Certification. My personal experience is that everyone I know who has done the Java Certification has said that it made them a better Java Programmer.
Consider the difference between say MCSD/MCSE and Java training. For the MCS exams the 'correct' answer is a political thing, and bears little (or in some cases no) resemblance to the actual state of the technology in question. So long as you have a vague idea of what the correct answer would be 'in an ideal world' you can easily get close to a passing mark with only passing familiarity with the actual technology.
