Course Description
So you've learnt some Java, but are struggling to get an interview, let alone a job.
Or you are stuck in a low paying programming job, and want to move up to a better, more senior position.
Maybe you have never programmed before, and are looking for a way to get into programming for the first time.
But, just how do you get employers to notice you? How do you make your resume stand out of the crowd of programmers looking for work?
By becoming certified as an Oracle Certified Associate (OCA) Java 8 Programmer!
Being certified moves your name to the top of the list for job interviews, because there are so few other programmers officially certified by Oracle.
The Oracle Certified Associate exam (required to claim Oracle Certification) can be difficult to pass, even for experienced Java developers. This course makes passing the exam easy!
This course will teach you everything you need to know, to be able to successfully get certified as an Oracle Certified Associate Java 8 Programmer and pass the exam.
Your instructor, Goran Lochert, is himself Java Certified, and an expert Java developer, with many years of programming experience. Goran knows first hand what is required to pass the exam, because he has done it himself.
He will take you step by step, going through each and every topic you need to master, to be able to pass the exam and receive your official Oracle certification.
It's a fact that you remember about 80% of what you do, and only 30% of what you see, so this is a hands-on course. It's not just theory, like many other certification courses. Rather, it's hands-on, and designed for you to follow along, in code. The more you work with the code shown in the course, the sooner you will be able to pass the exam and receive Oracle certification.
If you have taken the OCA exam before and failed, then this course is especially relevant to you.
In addition to the over 19 hours of videos, there is also practice exams that you can take to test your skills and readiness to pass the exam.
If you are ready to get that first paid programming job, or to move up to a more senior programming position, then this course is for you!
After completing this course, you will have the necessary skills to pass the exam, including the tricky, and difficult questions that can trip up even experienced Java developers.
An example of some of the tricky questions fully explained in the course include polymorphic parameters, immutability, predicates, differences between abstract classes and interfaces with default methods, and so on.
The sooner you sign up for this course, the sooner you will have the skills and knowledge you need to be able to pass the exam and become Oracle Certified.

Very Good lesions taken by the trainer, he explained each and every certification topic in very deep and precise way, he touched all the pain areas where mostly developer a bit confuse on exam, nice video for this java 1.8 certification. I just got my Oracle certification. Thanks to the Instructor.

I strongly recommend this course when preparing for the OCA exam, as it highlights on the main tricks and issues on the real exam.
Explanations are very clear and concise, really helpful when you are unsure about a certain topic.
I think this course is perfect for someone who used books as base material for the exam, which don't necessarily have an in-depth approach on all 2020 exam topics (like Iterator, lambdas, polymorphism etc.)

Incorrect subtitle translations. Narrator speaking English without scrolling, it seems that each word is a single statement, as if it were an automatic translator; on a phonetic level it is disastrous.
The examples are neither simple nor smooth, and often several elements are presented that "will be explained later". But in the meantime they remain in the example and make understanding difficult.
I hope it will improve, for now I absolutely do not recommend these lessons.

I haven't finished it yet, but as of now, it wasn't really explaining what he was doing such as what arguments basically are etc

Good course overall. However, the final parts regarding lambdas are a little rushed and require the student to do a little research.
