Can I aim for Spring certification if I only work with Spring Boot and not standard Spring?

I am considering aiming for Spring certification (VMware Spring Professional 2021). If I only work with Spring Boot, and not the standard Spring framework, can I still go for the certification?

From my little experience in planning for OCP11, I don't think that it's possible to successfully get any certification on work experience alone.

Also concerning, is the distinction you draw between Spring Boot and Spring Framework.  Boot doesn't exist without the core framework, so by inference, you should already know about it.

Where I worked a long time ago, there was somebody who thought you could pass on work experience alone, and repeatedly failed. It wasn't in computing.

Hi Terence,

Of course I know that I can't get certification on work experience alone. I would have to study for it.

I am just not sure if I need to get my hands dirty playing around with the standard Spring framework, if I were to study for the certification.

Don't know.

Look at our FAQ. Have a look on the certification website and see what the syllabus is. I think it will tell you to learn the whole of the framework, so you will need to work with all of it.

No, it's not possible.
Most of the topics in that exam is about standard Spring, but a big portion of it is about Spring Boot now.
So it's a good start if you already have good knowledge about Spring Boot.
The questions are more on the general and important parts but since the topic is huge, you must be careful.
