The Symfony 5 certification is now available

The Symfony and Twig certifications are available online since October 2018, read our blog post announcement to find out more about the Symfony certification online availability. We’ve moved from physical exam centers to online certification to enable much more people to take the Symfony 3 and 4 or Twig certification exams. We're very pleased to announce that the Symfony 5 certification is now available. Plus, we have a new certification provider based in Europe which offers more advantages to people taking the certification exam.

Now it’s faster and easier than ever to take the exam, buy your certification voucher and take it from your own home or office. As long as you have a computer, a web cam and a stable Internet connection, you can take it. You can take the following certification exams: Symfony 3, 4 or 5; or Twig.

Take the exam:

• wherever you live in the world. There are no more restrictions regarding the country where you live which prevent you from taking the exam from home.
• 30 minutes after your certification voucher purchase. No need to wait 48 hours to schedule your exam. If you are ready, you can buy your certification voucher and take the exam 30 minutes after your purchase. Your voucher is available for a year after from your purchase date.
• up to 30 minutes late after your certification appointment. If you are late to your appointment, you can still take the exam, if you are late by more than 30 minutes, your appointment will be canceled and you won't be able to re-schedule it.
• or re-schedule the exam as many times as you want until the end of its expiration date.
• and be notified right after your exam if you succeeded or not. In case you fail, you will receive a few minutes after your exam an email informing you that you did not succeed. In case you passed the exam, you'll get notified 48 hours later. It's the time we need to review your exam and make sure you took it without any help. So if you don't receive an email just after your exam, it's probably a good sign!

We are moving forward with the certification! We wanted to enable everyone to take any exam no matter where you are in the world and get rid of the country exceptions. Having a European provider for the certification is also a very good thing to make sure that the GDPR rules are respected. Thanks to our new provider, we guarantee you that your data is safe and stored in compliance with all GDPR rules.
