The
JBoss Certified Developer (JBCD) program now includes the
JBCD-Persistence certification for developers using JPA with Hibernate.
This certification provides an official, impartial validation of a developer's technical skills based on their ability to handle real-world development tasks rather than simply answering a series of multiple choice questions.
The certification can also provide another input for organizations that are looking for qualified developers to work on enterprise Java applications using JPA with Hibernate.
