Certification or courses for Spring/Hibernate, perceived by the market?

Question

Java

Who knows what courses or certificates exist in the world (not in Russia) on Spring / Hibernate / Maven and other technologies around them, in which it is worth investing time and money for the benefit of a career? We don't look at the price tag.

Answer 1

There is an official certification program for Spring from SpringSource/VMware. I got certified by it as a SpringSource Certified Spring Professional.

Answer 2

To get access to the Spring Framework exam, you need to pay about 2000 Euros for a 4-day course (I don’t remember the exact price), it doesn’t matter if you are a guru or a beginner, only after that you have the opportunity to take the exam. I planned somehow, but I consider it unacceptable to pay an extra 2,000 euros, for what you already know!

Answer 3

I can't recommend anything for courses. As for technical things directly related to development, I don’t see much point in such courses (almost everything is mastered without them). From areas related to development, such as software development for the financial sector, etc. - perhaps something is useful, but so far I have not been very puzzled by these questions.
