Is Java Certification Worth It?

Is Java Certification Worth It?

Is it really worth getting Java-certified? Certifications can be expensive for some people and I often get asked if it's really worth every buck. I'll discuss more about that in today's video. Please keep on watching!

Learn Java Programming Crash Course:

My name is Tim Buchalka and I have put together a series of videos which I call the "Programming Tip of the Day". And basically, each video goes through talking about some of the pitfalls and things that you'll need to overcome to succeed as a programmer, things like overcoming frustration and keeping yourself motivated.

In this series I will also answer common questions about choosing a programming language to learn, questions about your career path and things of that nature. Now there's a lot of other things as well that I'll cover in these videos and I'm also opening the lines for you to tell me what you want me to cover.

Now I've been a programmer for over 35 years so I think I'm real qualified to answer a lot of these questions. So if you do have a question, pop the question in the comments section of this video and I'll do my best to address that in a future video.

Even practicing for the Java Oracle exams is well worth it. It will help you in the interview process.

Watching your course on Udemy for Business...and glad to see your also on YouTube! Keep up the good work.

Just bought your Java Master Class and Java Cert classes. 20 years of programming experience, retired and took 6 years off. Crazy bored and now I'm going back to work. My goodness the rust I've been trying to scrape off. After watching a few of your preview videos on Udemy I can tell you're a fantastic instructor. Can't wait to start your classes. Thanks.

Great and interesting video about Java cert info!

Great news about the upcoming OCP 11 course!:) I am planning to take OCP 11 II after OCA 8

[abhinavraut]

hey Tim! Will be waiting for your Java 11 certification course! Please make an announcement as soon as you make one :)

[reboundpt]

Hi Tim! Is the Java 11 course for the OCA/OCP released yet?

[Warpgatez]

Whats the best way to study Java Tim? I follow your courses and have some books but what do you suggest to do in order to study it? Memorize the Documentation? Or some of it?

[mathemankwana]

Hi Tim. I am thinking of acquiring the certificate, I have never done the oracle exam before, guess my question is which test do you think its best to take the Java 8 or java 11?

[vinayyyyy_]

Hello sir, I'm currently taking your Java masterclass course on udemy & for now I'm focusing on getting certified as a oracle certified associate, how many modules will I need to cover in the course so that i can easily pass the exam?
Thank you.

So, Is ur Masterclass course is superset or subset of ur certification course?

[varunashok]

Hi Tim,
I'm following your Udemy course titled 'Java Masterclass' and it's top notch. You have really explained all the concepts in a very understandable manner.
I am planning on taking the Java 11 certification course, but I would like to know, if I complete the entire video course and get a grip on the concepts taught here, will this alone enable me to bag the certification? Should I buy a book as well(For example, a book by Herbert Schildt) to further enable me to do the same?
BTW, Thanks for the great courses on Udemy! Keep rocking!
Thanks.

Hi Tim, do you think a Java cert will help someone like myself who doesn't have a CS degree in programming?

[freaknenov]

Hi Tim! I am currently taking your masterclass on Java and I am loving it. Can't wait for your new Java 11 Certification course <3 Keep up with the good work :)

[khaidemsandip]

Java certification se 8 was the best programming course I have ever taken on udemy. I finished the course within 1 month. Thanks Tim and your team.

[DagonFF]

Hi Tim. I am your student on Udemy, currently following your Java Masterclass. Do you think that completing all the course, with all projects and exercises is enough to get the Oracle Professional Certificate or the Associate certificate? Thank you very much for your answer.

[arnestone]

Hi Tim, I am interested in getting JDK 11 certified (815 & 816), I could not find good exam preparation material. How far are you with your training videos?

[serageibraheem]
