How can I become a Sun Certified Java Programmer?

This foundation certification is for programmers interested in demonstrating proficiency in the fundamentals of the Java programming language.

To prepare for this certification, you can take the following recommended course bundle via the SAI Program:

Fundamentals of the Java Programming Language is intended for students with little or no programming experience. The course teaches the significance of object-oriented programming, the keywords and constructs of the Java programming language, and the steps required to create simple Java technology programs. Students taking this course can receive a solid basis in the Java programming language upon which to base continued work and training. The course features the Java Platform, Standard Edition 6 (Java SE 6) platform, and uses the Java SE Development Kit 6 (JDK 6) product.

The three (3) courses under Fundamentals of the Java Programming Language are:
WJ-1101-SE6 – Introduction to the Java Programming Language
WJ-1102-SE6 – Implementing Basic Constructs in the Java Programming Language
WJ-1103-SE6 – Implementing Object-Oriented Concepts in the Java Programming Language.

You might remember that Fundamentals of the Java Programming Language course are the same foundation courses for the Sun Certification Java Associate (SCJA).
The SCJA IS NOT A PRE-REQUISITE FOR SCJP.

Once you've completed these three (3) initial courses, you'll be ready to move on to the next step which is the course called the Java Programming Language.

The Java Programming Language course provides students with information about the syntax of the Java programming language; object-oriented programming with the Java programming language; creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs), exceptions, file input/output (I/O), and threads; and networking. Programmers familiar with object-oriented concepts can learn how to develop Java technology applications. The course features the Java Platform, Standard Edition 6 (Java SE 6) platform, and utilizes the Java SE Development Kit 6 (JDK 6) product. The students perform the course lab exercises using the NetBeans Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

The five (5) courses under Java Programming Language are:
WJ-2751-SE6 Java Programming Language: Getting Started
WJ-2752-SE6 Java Programming Language: Understanding the Building Blocks
WJ-2753-SE6 Java Programming Language: Applying Exceptions, Collections Framework and Input/Output Classes
WJ-2754-SE6 Java Programming Language: Designing Graphical User Interfaces
WJ-2755-SE6 Java Programming Language: Applying Threading and Networking Concepts

Once you have completed all eight (8) courses, you're one step closer to becoming a Sun Certified Java Programmer.

I also recommend taking the ePractice exam for the Sun Certified Programmer for the Java Platform, Standard Edition 6 (WGS-PREX-J065C) before you take your official exam at a Prometric Testing Center.

Good Luck!

@Ali do as you wish. I went through SAI materials now I'm reading Sun Certified Programmer for Java 6 and I find my self amazed how many things haven't been showed in SAI materials, which been skimmed and badly explained. I believe it was great investment in the book and I rather pay extra for the knowledge then fail exam.

@ Peter : The book "Sun Certified Programmer for Java 6", as you said is more on the topic and covers everything in great depth but one cannot remember everything the book teaches and more over can over look important points..i'd say the online SAI material provides a great way to revise the important points the book has taught therefore one should not only refer to the book for learning but also refer to the online SAI material..
