The PHP Certification requires skills in PHP and SQL (MySQL).
The PHP Developer Certificate
PHP is a powerful server-side scripting language for creating dynamic and
interactive websites. PHP is the widely-used, free, and efficient alternative to
competitors such as Microsoft's ASP.
PHP is perfectly suited for Web development and can be embedded directly into
the HTML code.
SQL (Structured Query Language) is an ANSI (American National Standards
Institute) standard for accessing database systems. SQL statements are used to
retrieve and update data in a database.
By mastering these subjects you will be able to develop and maintain dynamic
and interactive web pages and also retrieve and update data from a database over the internet.
The PHP Developer Certificate proves fundamental knowledge of web
development using PHP and SQL (MySQL).
The PHP exam will be taken over the Internet, at any time and from any location, but the exam should be supervised by a person selected by the
exam candidate.
The exam consists of 70 multiple choice or true/false questions. The exam is time-limited to 70 minutes.
Candidates must have 75% correct answers to pass the exam and become certified.
Candidates who have more than 95% correct answers will get an Excellency Degree notation added to their certificate.
Immediately after completing the exam, you will be informed of your score and of your pass/fail status. If you achieve certification status, W3Schools will ship
you an PHP Developer Certificate. The document will contain your personal data acknowledging your status as a Certified
PHP Developer.
If you have any questions regarding the exam, do not hesitate to send an email to:
The Supervisor
To add full credibility to
your Certificate, you should have a supervisor to watch over you when taking the
exam.
You must pick your own supervisor.
The supervisor should be used to see that you do not cheat. There are no other
special criteria for the supervisor.
The supervisor's name and title will be printed on the certificate, so it could
be wise to pick a supervisor who will add credibility to your
certificate (e.g. your boss or teacher).
When you receive the hardcopy of the Certificate, you should ask for a signature
from your supervisor.
