Package Description

Sun understands that any IT certification path can be confusing and costly, so we are pleased to offer comprehensive Career Accelerator Packages (CAPs) that take the guesswork out of preparing for certification, at a discounted price. Sun CAPs can help ease the certification process by providing the right combination of classroom training, online training, online practice certification exams, and actual certification exams.

The PK-CERT-SA2A CAP is for advanced, experienced system administrators who have passed the Sun Certified System Administrator Part I exam and who are preparing to pass the Sun System Administrator for Solaris Operating System, Part II exam.

Please note that the goal of Sun certification is to test on a particular job role the certification supports. Thus, certification exams are based on both recommended Sun instructor-led classes and six to twelve months of actual job role experience. Sun does not claim that by taking courses you are guaranteed to pass the certification examinations, however we do state the the courses are an important component in certification preparation.

Sun Corporate Learning Pass members and Sun employees are not eligible for this discounted package. This Career Accelerator Package offer is valid in the country for which course schedules are displayed. Unless specific to Career Accelerator Packages, no other offers or discounts apply.
