Get Certified


The SAI gives students around the world a competitive edge as they enter the workforce. Sun
certification is recognized industry-wide and it demonstrates
competency in high-demand technologies, such as the Java programming
language and Solaris Operating System. With certification comes
acknowledgment of specific technology skill sets. Much like a
university diploma functioned years ago, this proof of tangible skills
and knowledge opens doors that may have previously remained closed.
Professional certification mitigates the gap between what graduating
students know and what they need to know in order to perform certain
job roles and remain marketable.

Professional certification are available to SAI participants in the these key areas:

• Sun Certified Java Associate (SCJA)


• Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP)


• Sun Certified System Administrator (SCSA)


• Sun Certified Network Administrator (SCNA)


• Sun Certified Web Component Developer (SCWCD)

To prepare for the certification exams, students have access to ePractice Certification Exams.
These no-cost web based practice exams will acquaint students with the
format of the exams and its questions. The practice exams includes
sample test questions, the correct answers with explanations, and
provides the test taker suggestions for future study.

Discounted Certification

The SAI also provides heavily discounted rates for select certification
tests. For example, exams that normally cost $160 for professionals are
$60 in the U.S. and $40 in Latin America and Asia through the Sun
Academic Initiative. Certification in Sun technologies gives students
increased opportunities for job placement and career advancement.
