Spring Certification is Free of Mandatory Training Again !!

Hello folks,

In case you missed, I have an excellent news to share with you today, the Spring Professional certification is now free again.

I mean, you don't need to enroll into any mandatory training or Spring Pro content** to become eligible for this certification.

A couple of years ago, when VMware acquired Pivotal, the company behind Spring Framework, they reversed the decision of Spring certification fee of any training and made a costly training mandatory to become eligible for the exam.

This was big setback for many experienced Java developers who wanted to become a certified Spring developer as apart from the cost of voucher which is around $250, you also need to pay for an expensive training.

Thank god, that's not the case anymore and you can now give Spring professional certification with just your preparation.

To celebrate the occasion, I am offering 50% discount on my Spring books and courses, just use code friends50 get any of my Spring related books to get 50% discount for next 3 days.

Here are the links:

Further info from Spring Academy FAQ.

Certification is not free, a $250/- exam voucher would still be required.

Before current change, an exam voucher was part of the course (pro subscription).

New voucher needs to be bought, if one could not clear exam in current attempt (again $250/-).

That's a little expensive proposition. Atleast learning is free now.
