Practical Experiences with Java certification Java certification

After

a post on Slashdot relating to our blog, there have been a lot of comments about the usefulness or Java certifications. Here you have one that caught my attention, and that can help motivate people walking undecided:

I'm from Madrid, Studio 4 º of Computer Engineering, and after having studied at the school several subjects related to Java I I decided to get some certification in this platform. I got two, one as a Java programmer and developer 1.4 and other web components (servlet, JSP) in 1.4, both were approved with over 95% of note. The day after getting the second certification I sent my resume by infojobs several companies, at 24 hours had arranged to hire two queries. I signed with the first offered it to me, and without experience and with the race still in the middle (then was 3 º) I was hired by 18,000 euros gross per year. Just over a year and 3 months later my salary is 25000 euro in annual gross, which I think is not bad for someone as little more than a year of experience. My experience is that certifications have opened many doors. Related Links

Blog From Unicrontech can find useful tips for tackling the certification exam Java:

The Review:

* Relax (If necessary to learn Yoga par with Java).
* Please read the questions and code. (Look for syntax errors)
* Remember that all questions are traps.
* Drink plenty of water (the brain is going to overheat!)
* Has 2 Hour ... is long enough, do not worry. After

Review:

* Celebrate and not worry that smile on your face tattoos will last for several days.
* If you lost, do not worry ... try to resubmit it in the next two weeks to avoid losing momentum.

And a good view of what to represent in the workplace:

PROS:

1. They have great weight in the curriculum.
2. They make a conscientious study.
3. Can help the company's certificate winning projects.
4. Are intellectually challenging (though some think this is a "counter")

CONS:

1. They are expensive (for this, many people take them as part of the business of certifying).
2. It is possible that many issues are not part of certification (eg not evaluate SCJP Serializing Objects and is very common use.)
3. The certification represents no experience, just knowledge. Related Links

Whirry Body Of Influence

Opinion on Utility of certification are useful

The usefulness of Java certification is one of the most spoken in Internet discussion forums within the area of \u200b\u200btechnology certifications. Just as there are other certifications of renown, best known, respected, and valued, as can be perhaps Cisco or Microsoft, Java certifications are still fairly unknown and new even for people in the world of software.

Yet thanks to the efforts of the entire Java community, and the importance of language in the world of information technology, Java certifications are achieving greater recognition and prestige.

Okay, what happens in the real world? What if you're certified and you are a company looking for work? Will they learn to appreciate them?.

From experience, I believe that official certification is always helpful. Not only has given you some knowledge, it also serves as recognition of the same, and it's something against equal resumes, you will stand out from other candidates. Java Certification along with a good curriculum has been for me and other people I know, the key to perform many job interviews, and access to a good salary.

Searching the Internet can find many more reasons:

Do I need certification?

must certify you if you so choose.

For what can they do?

open many doors to access not only to companies but to many other things, publish books, create articles, publications, speak at events, etc.

represent a guarantee for a company that at least one person has looked at a particular agenda and knows a platform.

Help to stand out from other candidates with equal curriculms if you are looking for work.

may be the access key to a better salary.

self-satisfaction is a much cheaper alternative than others such as a Master as possible (I'd even say it is highly recommended) to study the agenda for your account.

have a great relationship between time studio / benefits / cost.

Why can not be valued? ( Martin's Blog)

Because companies are not known. It is quite possible / probable that he or the evil / a responsible human resources department does not know what it is for certification. Just know that it is something that others do not. Obviously this means to him / her that this certification does not mean that you will pay more. Because

want to take advantage of one. Whenever you can attempt to demonstrate the work that has taken years to obtain certification and the extra value offered by a company that you have this certification. But you will find in the case of a person you send to multiple customers with a reputation for being "an expert in XXX with many certifications" although it is getting like a simple YYY. Due

union / legal / etc. Perhaps a company such as the state, has set the salaries charged categories. The certifications come very badly within these categories. In these cases it is pressing for a productivity bonus or something similar.

And that's all. From experience, only to repeat that. Developer Certification along with a good curriculum based on qualifications and experience, it has opened many doors and allowed me access to a good salary, that without the certificate may never have had. Related Links

Elevated Ldh, Ast, Bilirubin

Many people before preparing a certification , or simply to learn about a technology aims to make a Master in a particular technology. On Java, for example, there are a lot of academies that offer specialized Master. This Master usually oriented to Java programmer certification, or J2EE platform in order to get a profile professional.

Also many people wonder if indeed these Masters are good for something. Well here a compilation of reviews I've found over the Internet.

The course is darling, but the pass rate is high.

I tell you. It is true that there are a lot of assumptions Masters in Java. I have not been and I can not give any opinion. Nor is the level of Java you have. But if I can speak from my experience (and many other people I know) to obtain certification.

With enthusiasm and motivation to learn and a minimal base and experience in Java, it is entirely possible to learn on your own. There is a lot of free material on the Internet, and even books that can scar the library to prepare. As you progress you can start testing small programs in Java, and to test the Internet (See our resource section of the website)

the end, when you feel ready and get, you'll see that the ratio (money spent / benefits ) will be very great.

Also from what I heard, the academies often leave much to be desired, with large level differences in students, bad teachers, etc.

I speak of the "Master Degree in Java" by CIFE training and consulting. Not worth it, do not give no documentation on J2EE, the methodology is to copy and copy and copy from the board (Somewhat dated), and worse, does not fulfill the agenda at all. I just finished and I would not recommend to anyone.

In general opinions are of all kinds, but I think we can draw two conclusions valid.

name Master is not real. A Master is a degree supported by the MEC, and in these cases is not enforced.

With some experience, and desire and motivation is perfectly feasible to obtain a certification of Java on your own, and what is best, saving the money of course Master. Related Links
