There was a time when Sun Certification was very hot and programmers feel proud of being Sun Certified Java Professional(SCJP). After Oracle took over Sun in early 2010, it changed names of all the examination from SCJP to OCPJP or OCJP, and now OCA and OCP for Java SE 7 and Java SE 8. I see there is a lot of confusion among certification nowadays, but essentially they are of the same level at previous SCJP. Since Java gets new language features with every new release, subsequently a new certification title is introduced. I am not agreed with upgrading your Java certification with every release, it doesn't make much sense to me, but many programmers prefer to get certified and keep it updated. By the way, many Java programmers also ask me, whether doing Java certification benefits in a job search or in a long-term Java programming role, In short, Yes, they do. You can read my response to my post does Java Certification adds value to your career. This post is not about debating Java...

Being the author of a Java blog and a certified Java programmer, I receive lots of questions about the usefulness of Java certifications like SCJP, now known as OCJP or OCPJP. Questions like, d oes getting a Java Certification helps to land a job , or does certified Java developer earn more or gets better offers, are quite common to Java developers, especially freshers. In this post, I will try to answer a few of these question based on my own experience as a Java blogger and a certified Java developer. Well, I did my first Java Certification, SCJP (Sun Certification for Java Programmers) along back when SCJP 1.4 was hot and after scoring 100% on that I did two more Java certifications i.e. my SCWCD (Sun Certification for Web Component Developer) and SCMAD (Sun Certified Mobile Application Developer). I did Java certification because at that time I was hungry to learn more about Java, I enjoy doing Java exercises and above all my company was reimbursing the cost of certification :-),...

I often receive queries from Java certification aspirants about exam simulators like whether should I go for Whizlabs or Enthuware, which one is better? If I have to buy just one exam simulator, which one would you recommend, Whizlabs or Enthuware? I thought to answer all those questions in a blog post and here you go. To be honest with you both of them are really high-quality test simulators and whichever you buy, you will do well on actual exams. But, as a programmer, I really like to analyze the situation, I compare pros and cons of each of them before I buy one of them. Since I have used both of them in the past I am sure about that in quality, they are neck to neck there, but here are couple of things which you can consider before buying Java certification simulator from Whizlabs or Enthuware WhizLabs vs Enthuware Here are a couple of points to compare Whizlabs and Enthuware exam simulators. This will give you some idea which one is better. 1) Price When it comes to price Enthuwar...

If you are a Java developer, working in Spring framework and thinking to become a certified Spring professional but couldn't to do it in the past due to expensive mandatory training provided by Pivotal and its partners then there is a good news for you. From 10th May 2017, Pivotal made the Spring Core training optional for appearing to Spring certification exam, which means, now, it's not mandatory to take Spring training for Spring certifications (see here). Similar to Oracle's Java certifications, you can become a Pivotal certified Spring Professional by just buying the exam vouchers and scheduling your exam online using examlocal.com from anywhere in the world. The cost of Spring certification has also reduced from whopping 3200 US Dollars to just 200 US dollars because of no mandatory training. Ever since this announcement is made by Pivotal, I have received a lot of queries from my readers, who have mainly experienced Java developer looking to get Spring certification....

The latest Java certification is now out, the Java 11 Certification . Ever since Java 9 andJava10 were out, programmers were speculating that what will happen to Java certification now? Will there is, be a new Java 9 certification or Java 10 certification? Will there be a new Java certification every 6 months, following the Java SE release cycle? Well, Thankfully, nothing of that sort happened; a new Java certification every six months would have been a crazy idea, not just for students and programmers but also to all the party involved, including Oracle itself.  Now the big question is what has been changed in Java 11 certification, and should you go for OCAJP 8 or OCAJP 11 certification? You would think that there is not much change between Java 11 Certification and Java 8 Certification only a couple of new modules to test new features introduced in recent Java releases like Java 9, 10, and 11, but you are wrong. It's a completely different exam with a much higher difficulty leve...

I have seen many Java programmers in doubt whether to go for Java certifications or not? Whether getting Java certified will help them to earn a better salary? or after becoming Java certified from Oracle will help them to get a Job. In this article, we will see what the benefits of getting Java certified are. I know higher income, better job prospects, and a better chance of promotion is at the top of the benefits of becoming a certified Java professional, but this certification provides much more value than that. Apart from all those tangible benefits, the most important thing is that you learn Java better, which help you everywhere like in your day job as well as on interviews. Another common question many Java developer asked to me is, whether I should go for OCAJP 11, OCPJP 7 (Oracle Certified Professional for Java SE 7), or OCAJP 8 (Oracle Certified Associate for Java SE 8) ordo you need to pass OCA before going for OCP Java SE 7?. One more doubt is in their naming, especially af...

Update: The latest version of Java SE certification is now OCAJP 11 (1Z0-815) and OCPJP 11 (1Z0-816) which is based upon Java 11 version. You can take these two exams to become a certified Java 11 developer, but if you already have an Oracle Certified Professional Java Programmer for the Java 6, 7, or 8 versions, then you can take the upgrade OCP Java 6, 7, and 8 to Java SE 11 Developer exam (Exam Code 1Z0-817). I don't have much detail, so I still keep this post as it is, but once I have got more information. I will also update this post. Today one of my readers asked about what is the latest OCPJP or SCJP exams available and is there a Java certification available for Java SE 9 and Java SE 10? This prompted me to browse through Oracle's certification website. During my casual browsing, I noticed that even though it's almost a year since Java SE 9 was released and 6 months since Java SE 10 was released the latest Java certification is still the Java  SE 8 certification. I...

Hello guys, if you are preparing for the OCAJP 11 (1Z0-815)  or OCPJP 11 (1z0-816) exam and looking for some advice on preparation then you have come to the right place. The Java SE 11 Certification is one of the toughest of Java certification at the developer level. It's much harder than OCAJP 8, it's predecessor, and some of the programmers who have attempted it calling it even harder than the professional-level certification like OCPJP 8. In order to crack Java SE 11 certification, you need to prepare hard, but, at the same time, you also need to know which areas you should focus on. What topics should you spend more time on and which books and courses can help you to learn those essential topics? The feedback I got from most of the developers who have given Java SE 11 certification ( half of them have failed ) is that Java Module System is a crucial topic, and since they have never really used modules, they really struggle to answer those questions. Another important thin...

From the last couple of months, I have been helping a few developers to prepare for Java 8 associate certification with exam code 1Z0-808, also known as OCAJP 8 . From my experience, both for preparing for Sun certification and helping other developers to get Java certified, I can say that two keys to be successful in Oracle Java SE certification are choosing an excellent study guide/course and buying one or two top quality mock exam simulators. When I say success, it doesn't mean just passing the exam but scoring above 90% because passing score 65% is not very difficult to achieve and anybody can pass OCAJP 8 by just a couple of month of practice but to score 90% and above is not that easy, you need to prepare and prepare hard. Since just passing OCAJP 8 will not make the desired impact, I always suggest my students aim for 100%, so the n worst case then can still score above 90%. A Java certified developer with more than 90% score sounds much better in the resume than just passin...
