Sometimes people ask if there's an official Laravel certification.
There isn't. We don't offer one, and we don't endorse any third-party certifications.
Certifications can help secure contract work or even be required in some situations. But if you're asking how to actually get good at Laravel, a certificate isn't the answer. Instead, I recommend everyone learning run through three steps:
- Read the documentation.
- Watch Laracasts and start with Laravel Learn.
- Build something. Start small and ship fast. Read a practical example of how you can go from zero to product with Laravel.
That's how most Laravel developers learned: by solving real problems and shipping real code. You'll learn fastest if you build apps that solve problems you personally face.
Will we ever offer or endorse a certification for Laravel? Maybe. But for now, if I were starting today, I'd skip the certificate and open my editor.
