Dhani, for getting magento certification cleared you need to atleast 1-2 year of coding with magento platform, however this is not requirement by Magento Inc. This my opinion so that you clear it in first attempt. 1-2 year coding will give good in-site of magento working and coding standard because Magento certification question are of real world scenario question which can be dealt with those who are already played with code.
Thanks

Hi All
I would like to get magento certification. I have over a decade of experience in PHP however dont have much hands on experience in Magento. I would really appreciate some help in terms of starting point for preparing for the Magento Certification.

Hi
Is it very hard to get magento certification ?
I am planning to get certified but have limited knowledge about the code , although i know everything about the admin back end.
Any one out there who can point me to any free resources to understand magento basic backend architecture and material for certification , any advice appreciated ?
I know about the folder structures etc but do not know about the listners,helpers etc etc other complicated stuff .

Magento Certification Directory search: http://www.magentocommerce.com/certification/directory/
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 Roy,
That’s actually the data from Magento’s official developer directory. It excludes those who have decided not to be listed.
Great!
3 out of 4 developers in Russia is ours.
And we plan to certify more developers soon.
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 π

Nice info Inchoo, probabily Brazil will have more two certified develorps soon!
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? π
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.
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?
