The Java certifications are worthless. All they tell you is that someone can play a Java trivia game. They don't tell you if the person can actually write and maintain code. Maybe with the increased prices, fewer people will waste...]]> Tue, 20 Dec 2011 14:51:41 -0500 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 14:51:41 -0500 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 14:51:41 -0500 Dec 20, 2011 Kurt Hoyt 4 Not to worry - training not required http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=63369 Don't worry. While some exams and some vendors require you to take a course, Oracle isn't doing this with the Java SE 7 exams, OCAJP and OCPJP.

Hello $600 OCP designation. http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=63369 Lucky me that I now have something to write in my resume otherwise I will have to take those exams. Those exams are good but the price is ridiculous.

So the total cost will be arround $1500.
