There are few questions that can arise if you are thinking about getting a Java certification. Answers to all the questions are here, as long as you have motivation and clear expectations.

My main motivation was to improve and update my knowledge of the Java language (while at the same time getting it validated by obtaining this valuable and recognized IT credential).

I assure you that even if you’re an experienced programmer you’re going to learn new and interesting things, not only about the new features of the language you still don’t know, but also about some things you think you master.
