Its good. If possible create an advanced java also, explaining enums, lambda, multi threading and more in detail about the collections framework. Split core Java and Advanced Java for both dev and testers. Just a recommendation, but it takes so much time and effort. Mike Mcmillan from infinite skills did that long back, no body has done so far. Audio quality may be enhanced.

Excellent course for learning Java from the basics to advanced concepts. The trainer explains each topic clearly with practical examples. The course structure is well-organised and easy to follow. Highly recommended for beginners and those who want to strengthen their Java fundamentals.
By Ibrahim Elhafssi on 12/3/2025
very good teacher and the way of explaining topics. He makes it easy for me to learn Java. I wish I knew him before I spent my money on a bootcamp that I feel I just wasted my money on. Pavan explain the topic very well. Thank you so much! I enjoy learning in here better than my expensive bootcamp I enrolled in.

One of the best Java instructors I’ve come across! Pavan Kumar is the only teacher with whom I clearly understood every topic. His explanations are practical, easy to follow, and especially helpful for SDETs. The notes are perfect for revision, and the quizzes make the learning stick. Highly recommended!

data types and structures would be a good add-on, things like the system.in to reveal other functionalities and scanner would be a useful add-on, to give a more detailed knowledge of the java programming language
By Anna Lewandowska on 3/3/2022
+ the knowledge was well structured + great most things are very well explained, in big detail, repeated enough times to remember well - instructor says very early that classes should be separate, and then till the end of the course continues to put many classes in 1 class file. not terribly bad, i know it served a purpose, just might create bad habits in newbie programmers (in a few cases it would be also easier to explain if several classes weren't mashed up in same file). - this keyword not explained as clearly as everything else, sadly :c also might have been i had a worse day tho. - handwriting in notes intelligible, subtitles are auto-generated and are wrong in every sentence xD
By Goutham Mantena on 7/21/2021
why sir u are using particularly some students names..... this course is only for those students or to all students who are enrolled..... its not good.......
By Abrar Hussain Marzuk on 9/14/2020
I think if he focused solely on Java would be better, in the end he talked about JDBC which is not what I was expecting in a Java course since it didn't seem relevant, nevertheless, it was a good course and gives a good basic understanding about object oriented programming.
By Pavan on 8/17/2019
Mr Pavan having good subject knowledge and he knows the simple ways the explain the concepts. Course is very content is good, I feel like it would be very good if can explain real time programming examples along with the examples he has gives.
By Rohit Kumar on 6/8/2019
Pavan is a very good teacher. He explanation is very clear and good. It is great thing that he has provided this 15 hours JAVA course for free. I am done with 70% of this course. And now, I have bought his Selenium (56hrs) course as well (that contains this 15hrs too). Also plan to buy his API course. Great going Pavan, love to pursue more courses from you.
