Guided Java 21 OCP certification training (10 week)

This course is targeted at Java developers who have a basic understanding of the Java programming language with at least limited programming experience. It takes place over a period of 10, 15 or 20 weeks, with half a training day per week. To advise the right pace of the training to the trainee, the entry-level of a student is determined using a standardized test. A training group can have a maximum size of 12 participants, ensuring a good balance between sufficient attention and time for each trainee and effectiveness in planning and execution.

The trainers are experienced Java developers and architects that combine theory with real-world examples. Next to providing courses they are active as Java consultants.
