This internationally recognized certificate is proof of your technical knowledge and expertise related to developing in Java. An Oracle Java Certification is highly valued in the market for software developers. Companies make good use of the knowledge of Certified Java Programmers for executing software development projects. The exams themselves are not part of the Academy, but must be booked and purchased separately.

Unique in design

The Java Programmer Academy consists of three modules that logically follow one another and which prepare for exams. The modules are given based on the open schedule, which means that students from different companies will participate in the course. The purpose of the Academy is that you will digest the knowledge gained in each module through self-study and by practical experience. After completion of the module, you will be provided with case studies to exercise what you have learned and put it into practice. Before doing the real exams you get the chance to test your knowledge by doing mock exams. After passing the exams you obtain the corresponding certification.

Lead time

The Java Programmer Academy is given six times a year and consists of a total of 11 training days in 2 months. An Academy starts every two months. In general, it is not advisable in view of the difficulty of the subject matter to follow the modules in quick succession. Rather, it is obvious to do the associated exam after a module and then one or two months later do the next modules with their corresponding examination. A lead time of six months is not unusual, but with a high level of knowledge and learning it can also be done faster.

Cases
