Hello,

I am looking for a recognized certification for Java (SE,EE,Spring,etc), <200euro , which I can take online.

If not online (exam), then maybe in my country (Romania).

Thank you

There will always be an issue with taking on-line exams. In essence, without proctoring, there is no way to be sure you are following the rules of the test (calculator/text/internet access/etc).

Would you believe someone who took an exam at home?

On the other hand, would you care if they took the exam at all?

Yes, I would. I believe that there is a difference between certifications. If you can read a study cram guide and pass the test, the cert is diminished. If the exam requires that you be able to think and apply learned knowledge, the cert is useful. It doesn't mean the test taker is 'good' at what they do, but (then again) neither does a 4 year degree - which is a requirement nearly everywhere.
