What does it take to be a very good / master in laravel

I am asking this because of those paid courses that say from Beginner to Master in Laravel. I've went through few of them multiple times (udemy courses) and I know pretty much everything from those courses but I still feel like I don't know a bit from being at very good or master level. Probably because real world projects are not just some basic examples that are used in courses, what do you think? Today I am paying for laracasts subscription and codecourse. Also my question would be how can I know how good I am if I can work on big projects but still dont think I am at some higher level? Thanks for your time!

There are a few dedicated series on Laracasts where Jeffrey builds a real-world application from scratch. They are excellent for gauging whether or not you're using best practices for modern web development.

Another thing you could consider is the Laravel Certification. If nothing else, you could skim thru all the things the exam covers here:

https://certification.laravel.com/prepare/

If you can go thru those topics and feel confident you are well-versed in each, then that would be a pretty good indication of your level. If you're very serious, you could consider taking the exam. If you pass that, then that would be reassurance of your competency.
