Spring Framework Course Online, Spring Core, MVC, AOP, JPA & Security
Live online + 1-on-1 Spring training, IoC and dependency injection, bean lifecycle, AOP, Spring MVC, REST, Spring Data JPA, transactions and Spring Security.
Spring Boot is how Java backends are built today, but every Spring Boot interview eventually asks how Spring itself works. This Spring Framework course teaches the foundations underneath: the IoC container and dependency injection, bean scopes and lifecycle, configuration with annotations and Java config, aspect-oriented programming (AOP), Spring MVC and REST, Spring Data JPA with Hibernate, declarative transactions and Spring Security.
Understanding these internals is what lets you debug a circular dependency, explain why a @Transactional method did not roll back, or reason about proxies, filters and the DispatcherServlet, the difference between using Spring and actually knowing it. The final module covers reactive Spring (WebFlux), observability and native images.
The course is taught live by working Spring engineers with an optional 1-on-1 Spring training track, lifetime recordings, two hands-on projects and placement support. Batches run in IST with slots for working professionals and learners abroad.
Next steps: take the Spring Boot course to build production APIs, then the microservices course. New to Java? Start with the Java course. Confused about the two? Read Spring vs Spring Boot.

Spring Framework track, FAQs
What does the Spring Framework course cover?
Spring Core with the IoC container and dependency injection, bean scopes and lifecycle, Java and annotation configuration, AOP, Spring MVC and REST, Spring Data JPA with Hibernate, declarative transactions, Spring Security, testing, and an introduction to reactive Spring with WebFlux, observability and native images.
Should I learn Spring Framework or Spring Boot first?
Learn the Spring Core concepts, IoC, dependency injection and AOP, first, because Spring Boot is built on them. Then move to Spring Boot, which auto-configures those pieces for you. Many learners take this course and the Spring Boot course back to back.
What is the difference between Spring and Spring Boot?
Spring Framework is the core programming model, dependency injection, MVC, data access, transactions and security. Spring Boot sits on top and adds auto-configuration, starter dependencies, an embedded server and production features so you can run an app with almost no setup.
Is Spring Framework still relevant if everyone uses Spring Boot?
Yes. Every Spring Boot application is a Spring application. Interviews routinely ask about bean lifecycle, proxies, @Transactional behaviour and the security filter chain, and debugging production issues needs that knowledge.
What do I need to know before the Spring course?
Comfortable core Java, OOP, interfaces, collections, generics, exceptions and basic SQL. If you are not there yet, take the Java course first.
How is the Spring Framework course structured?
Seven live modules with two hands-on projects. The 1-on-1 option can be paced around your schedule.
What are the Spring course fees?
Fees are shared on request, with EMI options and bundle pricing with Spring Boot and microservices. WhatsApp or call +91 9180377502 for the latest fees and batch dates.
Does the course cover Hibernate and JPA?
Yes, entities and relationships, repositories, JPQL, fetch strategies, the N+1 problem, and how Spring manages transactions around JPA.
Does this prepare me for the Spring Professional certification?
It covers the core ground of the Spring Professional exam, container, AOP, data access, transactions, MVC, security and testing. Your trainer can help you plan extra exam practice if you are targeting it.
Is the Spring training live or recorded?
100% live online with a working engineer, plus an optional 1-on-1 track. Every session is recorded and yours for life, and placement support includes mock interviews and referrals.
