These skills help you stay competitive in a constantly evolving development landscape.
The Zend Certified PHP Engineer Certification
The Zend Certified PHP Engineer, offered by Zend, now part of Perforce, is the established certification for PHP developers, and it covers the PHP language through its current versions. It validates practical PHP skills across the core language, object oriented programming, security, databases and more, and it is a recognised way to show employers you know PHP to a professional standard. The exam is delivered through Pearson VUE, and our training is built to prepare you for it. Ask our team about the current exam arrangements when you enrol.
Foundational
The foundational level introduces the basics of PHP programming, including syntax, data types, and basic web concepts. It is suitable for beginners or individuals starting in web development, providing essential knowledge to understand how server-side scripting works in building dynamic applications.
Associate (Developer Level)
At this level, learners expand their skills in PHP development by working with functions, forms, and database interactions. The training focuses on practical development tasks, helping individuals build applications and understand core programming concepts such as arrays, control structures, and error handling.
Professional
The professional level is represented by the Zend Certified PHP Engineer certification, which validates in-depth knowledge of PHP and real-world development practices. It covers advanced topics such as object-oriented programming, security, and performance, making it ideal for developers working on complex web applications.
Specialty & Expert
Advanced learning focuses on specialised areas such as framework-based development, application architecture, and performance optimisation. These skills allow experienced developers to design scalable, secure, and high-performance web solutions using PHP and Zend technologies.
