    Very cool Inchoo!

    Would you say that number of certified developers in your company directly affects the number of work/clients that you get? Did you notice some correlation?

    Hi Luka,

    Not really, but we are a very specific case, since we probably have the most visited website and most sales leads in the industry… but for a smaller company that’s just starting in the industry, I’m sure certification can bring some value and ensure their leads that they are working with capable professionals, especially since there’s not so many certified developers in the world compared to the amount of Magento stores out there.

    One thing I don’t understand is when I google for “magento certified directory” I always get Domagoj Potkoc as a top result, but the rest get Branko Ajzele? :D

    Hey guys – for the record, the number of Magento certified developers is a multiple of what’s mentioned here. The program has been a huge success since launching in 2011.

    Hope to see y’all certified :)

    Hey Roy,

    That’s actually the data from Magento’s official developer directory. It excludes those who have decided not to be listed.

    Toni, yes. The listings do not reflect the total number for various reasons. The real number is a multiple of what you can gather from the directory.

    Thanks for the post.

    Hey Toni,
    I have already done ‘Magento Certified Developer’ but what do you think as next is it good to be a ‘Magento Certified Developer Plus’?
    As you are directly involved with market, so what you suggest?

    Thanks and ohhh yes congrats Inchoo.
