To the IT guys - Sun Microsystems Posters in Kevin Srt - Anyone know anything?

There are a few posters around Kevin Street about this website. anyone knwo anything?

I'm interested in taking a few of those web based java courses. It doesn't have DIT listed as a recognized school, but then why would we have the posters up if we weren't part of the programme?

If you know anything, please share

i'm not sure of the specifics on this but i do know they're running ads for it on the radio so i would imagine it's open to everyone

It's odd, I've been reading the site, and the only real option is to register your company/university as a Sun Academic Institute. Nothing for the individual.

I'm assuming I have to go through DIT, so who should I contact? Some one in IT, or a Comp.Apps. Coordinator?

Talk to Mark Deegan, he's a lecturer in Kevin St.

Excellent. Thanks Mr Block

Seems alright..I've quite a bit of sun training material, but considering this is free, then it's a great resource for people who want to get certified.

cheers for the link.

No worries.

Im on the final module of the Solaris 10 intro course.And it just seems like they were really selling it to me, more than actually training me in it :P

In all fairness though, it is a decent OS.Managed to get some CBT stuff from another company, which compliments this nicely.

Soon as the exams are done, I'll stick my head into that Solaris stuff. See if I can't get work to pay

Dathai

Think the exams are 60 quid or so for solaris.

But dunno how prepared you'd be with the stuff on the site, but havent gotten into the full training yet. Nice of them though

Indeed, the whole thing stinks of an advertising ploy! The courses could turn out to be very useful though, some interesting ones further down the lists; a module on dtrace, for example.

Link seems to be dead... Is the offer expired??
