Cert Prep Workshop: Sun Certified Solaris System Administrator 2 (SA-SYS2-CPW)

Certification Prep Workshop: Sun Certified Solaris System Administrator II (SA-SYS2-CPW)

The Certification Prep Workshop: Sun Certified Solaris System Administrator 2 course provides students with a full review of the topics covered in the SA-299 course to help prepare them for the Solaris Certified System Administrator 2 exam, CX-310-015. The course details the testing objectives of the certification exam, along with corresponding material from the SA-299 Advanced System Administration for the Solaris 9 Operating System course using a series of overhead slides. In addition to the overhead slides, this course is accompanied by Darrell Ambro's Solaris 9 System Administrator Certification Exam Cram 2 book. The course is structured to meet the testing objectives of the certification exam, and does not correspond to the objectives of the additional book. The additional book merely serves as a reference guide to the Solaris 9 Operating System (Solaris OS) and highlights features that are new to the Solaris 9 OS. Students are encouraged to take the Sun Services ePractice exams before taking the actual Sun Certified System Administrator 2 exam. The ePractice exams are available at http://suned.sun.com. Select the Certification link to access the ePractice Exams. A set of 10 practice questions is available for free. A complete set of 180 practice questions is also available for an additional $75.00.
