I took the training in 2006 and has been using Spring since then. Now in order to take the exam either i need to take the training again or i need to prove that i am a significant contributor to spring development. That seems a bit odd.. Why do you allow people who attended the training just not the ones who attended it recently .. Hi,

Why are those who took it in 2006/2007 not eligable? I can understand not offering it for free for those candidates, but why are they forced to go the grandfathered route? It would seem easier to verify taking a course in the past than providing evidence of products worked on since.

Please explain how we can provide a reference to show that we are using it? Thanks. Meera Subbarao Hi Daryl,

But I think a four day spring course (as good as it might be) can not provide you with knowledge to simple step into "actively participate in Spring's development". To me, the spectrum in required (required in the sense of passing the exam successfully, not simply taking it) knowledge seemed a little wide to me. Daryl, unfortunately I missed the webinar yesterday. Are the some slides you could provide for download? Regards, Ollie Matt, I understood that the three way are "or" concatenated.

You should only need to meet one of those three criteria to be eligible to take the exam. Is that correct, Daryl?

But after trying to take look at the requirements I hardly get the point. To me there is a huge way between "taking a 4-day spring course" and "having significantly contributed to the Spring community". So how could someone be skilled to pass the certification after 4 days of training if you on the other hand advise to have contributed to the spring community or have more or less been involved in development. As I understand this, the later requires a lot more experience and skills. Could you give a little more details on that or do you plan to lighten this up on the webinar? Regards, Ollie Hi Daryl,
