Yep, looking to get one of the official Sun certifications (there's 2,
"developer" & "programmer") for JDK 1.2, see
http://suned.sun.com/usa/cert_progs.html

I've seen a couple of sample questions at
http://www.software.u-net.com/javaexam/javaexam.htm and 
http://www.software.u-net.com/javaexam/exam2.htm 

Coming from a C/C++ background I was caught out by a lot of their trick
questions, and I think I'd need some sort of course designed specifically
with the certification as a goal.

Thanks for your info, I'll look into Horizon (http://www.hos.horizon.ie/)
... ouch prices!! :)

(soz if too OT for you guys)

Cheers,
Alastair.
