I understand there is check box for multi option selection. But is there hint like “select 2 options” or “select 3 options”. Actually it should be there same as in Zend PHP certification exam.

Is Magento certification program still available ?

Web Developers

It seems that they stopped this certification.
Any news ?

Thank you.

Today I took, but failed, the Magento certified developer test. I found that 90% of it was trick questions with misleading answers. I’m no stranger to certification tests and usually score in the high passing range. Since they offer no numeric scoring I have no way to know exactly how I did on it.

I have been working with Magento carts for 2 years now and I am primarily a php/mysql developer. I have a lot of experience with Zend as well. I would say that this was a difficult test, but a more accurate description is that it is in unfair test in its use of trick answers and the subject matter that has very little to do with using or customizing Magento. I’m not just saying this because I failed it. Had I managed a passing grade I would say the same thing about it. There were several grammatical nightmares on the test like it was written by a non-native English speaker.

This sentence from their test description sums it up:

“The questions of the tests are multiple-choice question with only one or more answers”

The test was as confusing as this sentence is to me. Maybe I just received a batch of randomly selected extra difficult questions this time around. I am going to study up some more and re-take the test in about two weeks.

Personally I don’t think someone’s ability to navigate trick questions is a test of knowledge. All that it does is cause a random factor in test results because a lot of guessing occurs.

By the way, your page was the only one I could find that offered any insight on what to expect from this exam. I would love to see what other people thought of this test as well.

Thanks

have you a coorect link to the magento certification page ?

Can you let me know where can I get information regarding the certification ? I am in India and want to know more about the same.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

I’d love to try out the certification test too but that link redirects to the home page for me and I can’t find a mention of it anywhere, it’s like it no longer exists or perhaps the link is wrong. How did you find out about it?
