The reason is simply because I’ve not reinvented the wheel when designing this course. Instead I’ve been deeply inspired by Sun’s own courses.

why don’t you build courses lets say 2hours 3/4 times a week rather than doing it full day for 4/5 days.
It’s psychologically difficult for people working to cope with such mental demands as a lot of us have left the school bench quite a long time ago.
There are all sorts of possibilities as a matter of fact. But, personally, I believe that immersion is required to learn properly. My objective when running the course is to “share my knowledge” (look at the tagline of Knowledge Seven Ltd) and I don’t think I can do that if I only meet the trainee for 2h 3/4 times a week. Maybe 2-3 whole days a week at a stretch but definitely not 2h per day.

Aha, I have been waiting for this :-). I’ll take 5 days leave from office to attend, I hope I don’t get some “unforeseen” projects at work ..

Thanks Raj for your enthusiasm :-)
As for you Vicks, if you look at the requirements for the Sun Certified Java Programmer certification and you compare with the course content of my Object-Oriented Programming in Java course, you’ll notice one thing: they are similar!
