Is it an official certification for Laravel ?

Hello,

Some years ago, there was an official Laravel certification, but due to some problems, it was stopped.

Today I have found this Laravel certification. Is it an official one ?

https://exams.certificationforlaravel.org/

Thanks for your answer.

And another problem ... I just noticed that the My Questions page returns an empty list and I have tried to create a new post, but it's impossible : no new post created and always an error message saying that I'm not logged in, but I am logged in.

And a third problem : when I go to my profile page, I get a message saying that my account has been suspended. What ???

AFAIK, (i) this Certification offering was unrelated to Laracasts and (ii) while it was endorsed by Laravel (Taylor), that endorsement was and remains withdrawn:

Taylor Otwell @taylorotwell

At the beginning of this year, we discontinued our official partnership with the "Laravel Certification Program".

There is no longer an "official" certification program for Laravel, although Laravel certification exams managed by third-parties still exist and may be created.

This is an independent company; while I have no direct experience with them, I would suggest you do your own research to determine if (i) they are trustworthy (ii) reliable and (iii) an authoritative certification body.

@vincent15000 There is no official Laravel certification. There’s also no Laravel certification that’s worth the e-ink it’s written in. In over 10 years of working with Laravel (and in roles primarily working with Laravel), not once have I been asked if I’m “certified”.
