Hi

Posted this earlier on IT Certification forum earlier but didn't get no response so was just wondering if anyone here had any opinions.

I graduated with a 2:1 in BSc (Hons) in Applied Computing in 2009, I followed this with a one year internship program as a junior developer. I have been looking for work since and have had some interviews.

I am now thinking of doing the Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP) to help improve my knowledge and also to be able to say I am at something when I'm not working at the moment.

I got the book on it and think I can prepare myself for the exam. A few questions just, how beneficial would such a cert be going for a Junior developer type role?
Also, will Fás pay for the exam since I am unemployed and can I just do the exam when I'm ready without doing some Fás course?

Cheers.
