    GetCertified Java graduate receives multiple job interviews on completion

    2013-12-12 getcertarn

    School leavers wondering about their prospects for employment in the Java programming world need only ask a recent graduate of GetCertified.

    The Johannesburg-based IT training company offers a Java Job Prep Boot Camp in preparation for full-time work in the software development industry. When ready, candidates sit the internationally recognised Oracle Certified Associate Java exam and Oracle Certified Professional Java exam.  Once a student has graduated, Compuways, a top IT recruitment firm and GetCertified’s sister company, places them with a suitable employer.

    At the time of writing, one student had multiple interviews lined up with prospective employers, had attended two and was called to a follow-up interview all in the space of one week.

    According to Arnold Graaff, CEO of GetCertified, this is not unusual for a student who has done well in their Java certification and practical examinations.

    “Companies are on the lookout for entry-level Java programmers with internationally recognised certification and proven practical skills,” says Graaff. “Compuways has a continuous backlog with clients seeking this class of programmer, so we’ve never been unable to place graduates who have applied themselves during training.”

    While looking for a suitable training institute, the student mentioned above met with Arnold who explained the details of the Java Boot Camp. Within three months of starting the course, he learned how to develop a complete database-driven Java web application and achieved Oracle Java certification.

    But why choose to study the Java programming language? “Everyone’s heard of Android,” replies the student, “and I knew that most of the software written for that system is coded in Java. Its popularity made it the best choice.”

    When asked if he plans to develop Android applications, the student responds: “With Java there’s such a wide range of software that can be developed. I don’t want to limit myself to just one category when so many possibilities exist.”

    How did he achieve certification so quickly? “I tried self-study for 9 months while I worked,” explains the student, “but the amount of information covered made it impossible. At the Java Boot Camp, I studied full time. That’s 9 hours of constant training per day under Arnold’s expert guidance. The complete dedication and high level of instruction made it possible.”

    After completing his web application project with distinction, Compuways immediately arranged job interviews with four top IT companies. “I was spoilt for choice with a job offer from each of them,” says the student. “All this happened within 5 months of enrolling for the Java Boot Camp.”

    “For anyone considering a career in Java development, I recommend starting with GetCertified.”

    Bursaries or study loans are available on request to applicants who provide proof of good mathematics scores (60% or higher), and who perform favourably on GetCertified’s aptitude test and face-to-face interviews.

    GetCertified also offers Boot Camps for database administration, PHP development and Microsoft .NET development.

    Free Java programming courses for school leavers

    2013-11-24 getcertarn

    If you’re a school leaver interested in a career in Java programming but can’t afford the study fees, GetCertified may have the answer you’re looking for.

    The Johannesburg-based IT training company offers a limited number of study bursaries to selected applicants, allowing them to attend its Java Job Prep Boot Camp without paying any upfront study fees. Candidates can train for free during the Boot Camp and repay the cost of the course at reasonable terms after they have found employment.

    To qualify for free training, applicants must provide proof of good mathematics scores (60% or higher), and perform favourably on GetCertified’s aptitude test and in face-to-face interviews.

    GetCertified bursaries are offered to allow deserving school leavers the opportunity to enter the thriving field of Java software development. The programming language has enjoyed a boost in popularity with the growth in consumer demand for Android-based mobile devices. Since most Android apps are created using Java, the need for competent developers has risen too. Java programmers also work on the complex business systems that apps connect to for information.

    According to Arnold Graaff, CEO of GetCertified, the greatest demand is for entry-level programmers with international certification and proven practical abilities.

    The Java Boot Camp teaches school leavers to write programs competently in Java. It also allows them to provide prospective employers with proof of their practical abilities through the development of a fully functioning Java application of the standard required in the workplace.

    After training, students will be registered to sit for the internationally recognised Oracle Certified Associate Java exam and Oracle Certified Professional Java exam.

    GetCertified also assists graduated students to find employment through its sister company, Compuways. A top IT recruitment firm, Compuways has been placing tech personnel since 1990. “We’ve never been unable to place a student who passes the course,” says Graaff. “We have standing orders from our Compuways clients for this class of developer – they are very much sought-after.”

    Once training is complete, learners can further their qualifications with GetCertified’s advanced Java courses, such as the dedicated Android Development module.

    Students who qualify for bursaries can also choose from other available Boot Camps, namely database administration, PHP development or Microsoft .NET development.

    For more information, visit GetCertified’s web site at http://www.getcertified.co.za/bootcamps/java or http://www.getcertified.co.za/bootcamps for all available Boot Camps. Prospective students are invited to attend open days by appointment from Monday to Saturday.
