As of May 10, 2017, you don\u2019t have to enroll for the Core Spring training course to get spring certification. Now, you can purchase the spring certification exams directly. Initially, candidates had to enroll for the spring training for 50k INR for taking spring certification exams. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The training is still considered as one of the best resources to prepare for spring certification. However, the expense factor was always a huge obstacle for many candidates to get spring certification. Therefore, the new measure by Pivotal, the founder of the spring framework, would open new roads for candidates. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The spring professional certification exam is ideal for candidates using spring framework in Java application development.
