Help finding Java course taught over summer

Career Opportunities & Internships
1

<p>Son has applied online for over a dozen internships and is still waiting to hear.</p>

<p>In perusing the openings, many asked for experience with JAVA.</p>

<p>Son is a mechanical engineering major, and as part of an honors program, he has learned Fortran, C++, SQL, and Matlab as part of his dif eq course.</p>

<p>So, he's had a lot of exposure to programming, but none in Java.</p>

<p>We've tried to find local and OOS colleges offering JAVA, but not found any yet.</p>

<p>Is there a way to take a JAVA course online, or is there someplace that any of you know of that is offering JAVA this summer?</p>

<p>I even was considering sending him to one of those ID TECH camps, but he's too old, 20.</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated. With this being a "wasted" summer, I'd like son to at least be able to pick up a course that would help him find a job in the future.</p>

<p>I would suggest taking a Java certification. It will boost his resume much more then just taking a course. He can take a course to prepare for certification, or he can self study</p>

<p>^^^How does one get a JAVA certification?</p>

<p>Certifications, and training for them, are administered by Sun which is now owned by Oracle.</p>

<p>For example, this is the page for Java programmer certification (I think it is the first level):
[Oracle</a> University Select country](<a href=“http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=&lang=&p_exam_id=1Z0_803]Oracle”>http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=&lang=&p_exam_id=1Z0_803)</p>
