hi all..

I too am preparing to take up the SCJP 1.5 exam.. wat i wud like to know is if there is any VALIDITY PERIOD for this exam's score...


I mean, in case of GRE, the exam scores obtained are valid for 5 yrs...

Similary, TOEFL scores are valid for 2 yrs...


Hence, i wud like to know if there is any (validity period) for any of the SUN CERTIFIED EXAMS such as SCJP 1.5, SCWCD 1.4 exams... also


Thanks in advance

Hi Preethi,
Welcome to JavaRanch

What is Sun's new Certification Policy?
Beginning with all Sun certification exams taken on or after August 1, 2003, certification offerings from Sun no longer have an expiration date. Rather, certification offerings are based on a version of technology. The certification date and exam version will appear on both a certificate and an identification card with the applicable certification title.

Recertification is no longer required to maintain one's status as a certified professional. Sun certification is now directly associated with a version of technology. Nevertheless, Sun highly recommends that you remain certified at the most current technology version.

When will the Certification Policy take effect?
The new Certification Policy will take effect on August 1, 2003.
