The Certification of Competence for Laravel

The Certification of Competence for Laravel image

Certification for Laravel is now live on Certificates.dev. Led by Steve “@JustSteveKing” McDougall and developed by experienced Laravel experts, the program introduces four levels of assessment: Junior, Mid-Level, Senior, and Artisan. Junior provides a structured starting point for newer developers, while Mid-Level and Senior progressively test deeper knowledge of the framework and architectural judgment. Artisan is designed as a true mastery-level assessment of the Laravel framework.

Exams combine multiple-choice questions with practical coding challenges, with the Artisan level being entirely code-based. All exams are proctored, time-bound, and built around real production scenarios rather than just theory. Exam support training is also available. If you want a structured way to validate practical Laravel capability, Certification for Laravel sets a higher standard.
