Day Course

Sun - Certified Java Programmer Version 6 - Overview

Seven reasons why you should sit your SCJP course with Firebrand Training

  1. You’ll be SCJP certified in just 7 days. With us, you’ll be SCJP trained in record time
  2. Our SCJP course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
  3. Pass SCJP first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We're sure you'll pass your SCJP course first time. But if you don’t, come back within a year, and only pay for accommodation and exams. Everything else is free
  4. You’ll learn more SCJP. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
  5. You’ll learn SCJP faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily
  6. You’ll be studying SCJP with the best. We have won the Institute of IT Training’s "Training Company of the Year" a record three times. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 20,000 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business
  7. You'll do more than study SCJP courseware. We use labs, case studies and practice tests to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging.

Our 7 day accelerated Sun Certified Java Programmer training program is an accelerated, fully-immersed course, designed for programmers that require effective, real-world skill-building and timely certification.
