can I apply SCBCD

Hi
I have got the SCJP 1.4 can I apply SCBCD ?
Do I need to det SCJD first?

No, you can go ahead and study for the SCBCD exam

You can find more information about the SCBCD exam at http://suned.sun.com/US/certification/java/java_busj23e.html
Also, you might find helpful resources on our SCBCD Links page.
Don't hesitate to come over and ask questions. Good luck

Thank you .
But it is going to be expired .
Do I need to take the exam before the expire date ?
Or if it is expired what should I do ? Take SCJP exam again ?

If you are saying that your SCJP is about to expire, then you are right. You must be an SCJP(any edition) while appearing for SCBCD.
Suggest you to take up the 1.4 upgrade and then take up SCBCD.If you have future plans for SCWCD as well, this will help since SCWCD too requires that you are an SCJP.
Just my $0.02.
Best Wishes,

Ok
I got it
Thank u

Hi Neal Hanson
I think starting from August 2003 there is a change in Sun's policy. It says "Certifications no longer expire". Check here. Better you may ask sun whether you really need to go for another SCJP exam.
