As far as I know that most certificates have no meaning. But at the same time, I heard that oracle certificates have a certain weight, the question is whether it makes sense to get certified from oracle, with the aim of an attractive line in the resume (At the moment I haven’t worked anywhere), I mean the most basic Associate certificate

    Passed 2 exams to get Oracle Certified Professional Java SE 7

    • Pluses: all language constructs (syntax), API in the SE package, many nuances and language structure are studied
    • minuses: high price ($ 150 for the exam, but often you can find promotional codes to get a discount of 10-30%), you will most likely need to buy mock exams separately, for successful passing with a high percentage of correct answers

    Certificates have weight, because getting them is not so easy and almost impossible without preparation. The exam procedure is very strict. A lot of questions, time is short. The next stage (workshop) requires a good knowledge of written English.

    • I understand, did you pay about $ 150 for each of the exams? Tasks bylina English? - Andrei Kozitsky

      @AndreyKozitsky In total, $ 250 came out. Tasks in English, registration too. Delivery takes place in a certified (for pearson vue) certification center, which is not in every city. Without mock exams it is better not to try to pass, aiming for the keyword enthuware - DaysLikeThis
