You can check the latest cost on Pearson Vue. But for me for each part the cost was USD 125 that means approximately between Rs 5500 to Rs 7000. I do not know the exact cost for the mandatory training so cannot comment on that. So excluding the mandatory training part the cost for all 3 exams could be around Rs 18000.
God, this has become expensive. Just checked the oracle website and I see that the minimum cost of training is Rs 13888. Hence, total cost is about 30K+. This is really sad to hear that the company is focusing on profit making. This is a real dampener for aspirants, like me.
Hi Cathal,
Could you please share some information on what Python is? Is it some kind of a new certification framework ?
What I know is that it is a programming language.
I did the entire SCEA5 by Feb 2011. It was around $950 + $65 for Sun ePractice and less than $100 for Whizlabs.
At that time there was no mandatory training and my company paid for all the expenses.
I know after Oracle going for mandatory training - the popularity for SCEA5 might come down.
