Spring certification without Pivotal Training Course

GOOD NEWS FOR SPRING DEVELOPER! You can now do the Spring Certification Exams, without enrolling in the course!

Yes it is true, now you can take Spring certification enrolling in the course provided by Pivotal, that is company behind Spring, has announced on 10th May 2017 that "Spring Certification Exams are now available for individual purchase, without enrolling in the course" but my bad luck it has changed after I have taken that training with investing so much amount :) but still I will recommend this training because they provide the best training instruction with lot of spring certification preparation material and the working labs. Pivotal takes very good initiative to remove spring training mandatory for this certification since it's after launched 10 years back. Many developers avoid to attends the Spring certification due to very high fee of this training, it is one of biggest obstacle for many experienced Java and Spring developers to get certified for their Spring framework skills. This very bold step taken by Pivotal, it helps to spread out spring certification very vastly as like Java certification. Currently, you don't need to invest about Rs. 50000 for a training if you are Experienced Java developers - with extensive Spring knowledge already - can purchase a Spring Certification Exam directly from Pivotal., just like Java certification, you can buy the Spring certification voucher @ 200 USD and take the exam online or offline at any test center.
Earlier Spring training was the part of Spring Certification exams e.g. Core Spring or Spring Web etc. In India, Spring People in the Bangalore is one of the associate of Pivotal who provide spring training. The cost of Spring certification in India was more than 50K INR because of the training. But in other countries that cost is very high e.g. 2700 EURO in Germany and other European union nation and 2300 GBP in the UK and 3000 USD on the USA, North America. Even though the training was worth of money and still the best resource for preparing Spring certification, it is very expensive.

I knew it, it very biggest reason for not doing spring certification, I have also invested 50K INR from my pocket to take training from the Spring People associate of the Pivotal in the Bangalore, that was very tough decision for me to take training because of that cost. Similarly many spring developers had same reason for not attending this course if the companies do not sponsored the training.
