It is kind of difficult to pass the Core Spring Certification unless you have used at your work or have undergone a training , the 4 days training program teaches you many things that may not be covered in any book. I would not encourage you to use it to get a job alone , by studying for a Core spring certification you would be learning many concepts in deep which eventually add to your knowledge of course you may get many interview calls when you're a spring certtified professional.

There is a training that you have to attend, its a 4 full days long training 32 hrs , they do teach you some concepts that may not be covered in a book and then you can appear for an exam and like I mentioned before also by studying for a Core spring certification you would be learning many concepts in deep which eventually add to your knowledge. Even I have also worked on Spring 2x but now preparing for Spring 3x certification exam and I got to know some low level concepts of Spring as it is a very big framework and so many things to learn.

I think Amit's point is relevant. You used to be able to take the cert if you had experience. Now the only way to take it is by taking the course first. And no, I don't think the cert if valuable. I think they dumbed it down too much so it is more like a sign you paid attention in class.

It is a very good certification to aim for, both for career and self-improvement.
