Description
Our training covers all 9 groups of exam questions (42 topics) presented in a concise, easy-to-remember format. You will go through a number of hands-on labs, after which you will be able to confidently work with various data types defined in Java, such as loops, branching structures, exception handling blocks, etc., as well as with a number of fundamental classes included in the standard Java API library.Special attention is paid to methods of discovering the most typical traps and pitfalls. The course material includes numerous examples and questions which mimic real test situations. The hands-on labs are given in the exam language, followed by full translation of tasks in the sections where the solution methodology is discussed.
After completing the course, a certificate
is issued on the Luxoft Training form
