How to Schedule Spring Professional Certification Exam (VMware EDU-1202) Online? [Guide]

Hello folks, even since Pivotal made the mandatory training optional for Spring certification, I have been writing a lot about Spring 5.0 Core Professional exam here. In the past, I have written about general preparation tips, books, coursesmock tests. So, after months of hard work and preparation, you are finally ready for the day. In order to schedule for the Spring certification exam, you first need to buy an exam voucher from Vmware's website. If you have taken their training course like the Core Spring training course, then you also receive a free voucher for 1 attempt.

Anyway, I assume you have already bought the voucher and ready for scheduling the exam, but if you haven't, you can follow my instructions given here to purchase the exam voucher first.

Unlike Oracle and Java certifications, which are provided by PersonVEU, Spring certifications are conducted by ExamLocal.com, which will be online only. This means you don't need to go to the exam center to take the exam.

Though you need to show your ID proof and need a web camera so that Spring guys can monitor you while doing the exam. This also means that you can take the Spring certification from any location in the world.

Btw, if you have just started preparation for Spring core certification (VMware EDU-1202)  then I suggest you follow my method of one book + one course + one practice test to prepare well for Vmware's Spring certification. If you need recommendations the I suggest you join the Spring Professional Certification Tutorial on Udemy for topic-wise preparation first.
