From Beginner to Java Developer I went home and did some research about programming and realised this is what I want to do. I then enrolled. The Java beginner course was very interesting, although a bit daunting in the beginning and I at one stage wondered if it was the right thing, but I was determined and suddenly the penny dropped and I started to love it. I ended up doing well (71%) and proceeded to the Java Programmer (SCJP) course. This is a bit more theoretical, but tested my knowledge in detail and from all angles. I also did well (73%) and immediately continued with the Java Developer (SCJD) course. This was a real practical project and now I could actually put to use all my knowledge in terms of a practical project. I developed a system which a DVD shop owner can use to book stock in and update when renting out DVD's. I did even better in this and was now very anxious to find a real job. I was sent on 3 interviews by Compuways a bit later, and on the 3rd interview I got a job offer which I accepted immediately. This was a true life-changing experience and I am now in a career as a true Java developer! Exciting! Thanks to Getcertified and Compuways - they are really recommendable! (I am planning to continue with the SCWCD course and later the SCBCD course with Getcertified. Their prices are reasonable and there is a discount for groups which I intend making use of as I got 2 of my colleagues interested as well." John - 15 May 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ASP.NET 3.5 Website Workshop, covering MCTS 70-562 " I am a mainframe programmer who programmed most of my life in COBOL and Natural and other 4th generation languages (older generation stuff). I did teach myself the basics of .NET and developed small websites, self-tought. I found myself it was getting more difficult to get employment as I am a contractor and therefore i started to teach myself to build websites so I can do this for small businesses and earn an extra income. It is very difficult to study comprehensively part-time if you are working during the day, so I decided to do The ASP.NET course full-time and focus and get everything done in the correct way. I enrolled for the course and within the first lesson I was already on the way of developing a website with a database. I found so many small things that i have missed when studying alone and also did not think about all the security and perfromance issues. It was a wonderful course and worth every penny as I walked out of there with a fully-fledged website (in a framework format) done to the correct standards. This was a feeling of real empowerment - a new world has opened up and I am not dependent anymore on my basic skills!. I scored 76% for this course)" Alice - May 2009 --------------------------------------------------------- Hi Arnold
Again just to say that the course was pertinent to our corporate needs. The background given around the practical component was enough for current programmers to keep in mind. While it wasn’t difficult to get our heads around it, the course does give enough to get my developers going in the right direction. In our environment things aren’t all about a certification in hand, but rather about getting the job done. Since the course I can already notice an improvement in their work as well as there enthusiasm.

Mark ------------------------------------------------------------- Craig was an Informix programmer who returned from the UK and wanted to get a job in SA and in Microsoft Technologies. In November 2009 he did our C#.NET and ASP.NET 3.5 Workshop courses. He then studied by himself for the MCTS .NET Framework Microsof Exam which he passed in December 2009. : 20 January 2010 : Hello Arnold... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SCJP Dear Arnold, Thank you very much for sending the google link again.i can now access the shared file...Thank you again for the wonderful program you and the team are offering...I will definately inform others who needs do this courses.....many thanks..... I am now going through the whole program again to prepare for the sun exams.....I will definately come back to do the Developer one after the exam. Keep well.. Kindest Regards, Tebogo (27 July 2009) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would like to sincerely thank Compuways particularly Arnold for the extreme, wonderful training I got in SCJP in a short amount of time. The high quality of the training is whattriggers me to say thank you once again Compuways. Nevertheless this training alone made me a java professional, I also felt ready to write real Sun Certified Examination where I obtained 78% pass mark. There is one thing that makes me regret, I wasted a lot of time searching for my profession and not knowing about Compuways. Had I known about you a couple of years ago, I would be a real guru in my field by now. I was also unemployed and Compuways found me a job. Please keep it up Arnold. John. Oct 2009. |
