Benefits for the Academic Institution
The Sun Academic Initiative (SAI) is one of many programs Sun offers to further its collaborative relationship with educational institutions. Enrollment in this program authorizes schools to deliver training on Sun technologies to their students, faculty, and staff through two delivery methods: SAI Learning Connection (Web Based Training) and SAI ILT (Instructor Led Training).
SAI Learning Connection
The SAI Learning Connection gives members access to free courses, such as: The Fundamentals of Java Programming, Open-Source Solaris Operating System, Open Office Suite and much more. With only a computer and an Internet connection, SAI members around the world can learn about the broad range of Sun technologies and prepare themselves for Sun Certification.

Instructor Led Training
In addition to the Learning Connection web application an academic institution can also apply to participate in Instructor Led Training (ILT) for a more enhanced experience, providing you with an instructor and supporting course materials developed by Sun. These materials include slides, speaker notes, and online ePractice exams. Instructor-led courses using Sun Academic Initiative materials work well as part of the syllabus in a computer science class at a four-year university.
