Online Learning

[IRONPIG1]

Hi

I am interested in learning more about HTML/SQL/JAVA/Primavera/Economics/Business maybe some cisco and would like to know which online learning sites' courses are recognized as holding any value to a future employer.

I just finished Intro to SQL: Querying and managing data which was pretty interesting, well interesting if I imagine it being used in a real world scenario.

I am also basically done with the Lynda.com Adobe After Effects CS6 Essential Training course/tutorial. (really not my thing though...anyways colourblind ^^)

So any knowledge of which online courses are acknowledged by businesses would be greatly appreciated!

(I am not sure if this is the correct thread but it is related to work and jobs and requires the knowledge of those with work experience )

Have a look at the Oracle Java certs.

Such as http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=39

And then write the exams at Pearson VUE/CTU in Cape Town?

I like the fact that you have to go and write an exam, gives the certification some legitimacy.

The Oracle Java certs are probably THE Java certs to have . . . in the world.

They have different levels etc and can be written at a few different places. Really hard though AFAIK.

Well, it is Oracle, and it is Java. That's like a Microsoft cert from Microsoft.

Yup. Just want to bring across the point that it is recognized everywhere. Its not some backyard varsity certificate.
