Pre-requisites for SCEA

[Pawan Udernani]

Hi-
Is it preferable to have SCWD and SCJD before going for SCEA? I have 3 years of experience on server side java. Further, I have worked more as a tech consultant than as a developer and hence not very much inclined to go for SCWD or SCJD. I am not sure if anyone has achieved such a jump to SCEA bypassing the other exams... Please adivse. Your inputs would really help me taking this decision.
Thanks,
-Pawan.

Hi Pawan,
I think it would not be amiss to have the other certifications but there is no need for it. I took SCEA with a quite similar background (without SCJP etc. and successfully). I think you need a completely other point of view than the developer. So it even may be an advantage.
Just do it!
Regards,
Torsten
