Sun Career Accelerator Package for Mobile Application Development (PK-CERTJ-JA8B)

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-CERTJ-JA8B Sun CAP is for developers interested in learning about J2ME architecture, how that architecture fits in mobile computing, and then how to develop mobile applications on the J2ME platform. This package includes a voucher for the certification exam, Sun Certified Mobile Application Developer, so that you can validate the newly acquired skill set. This product package is comprised of a three-day instructor-led class (DTJ-365), two bundles of self-paced web courses (WJB-450 and WJB-460), the online practice exam (WGS-PREX-J110), and a voucher to take the certification exam (CX-310-110). The components in this package are available for an entire year.

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.
