Certification
After finishing our course, students receive an ALX certificate with a detailed list of all acquired skills.
This course, which covers in detail Zend Framework, covers the majority of material needed for ZFCE certification. Those interested in it should know that taking the exam requires, apart from the Zend Framework part of this course, learning the material covered by ZFCE PREP course, which supplements this course's material (or separately purchased PHP ZF-OOP module) by elements not necessary for everyday work with Zend Framework, but required by the ZFCE exam.
For public sessions, you can sign in yourself or delegate one or a few employees. The prices given in the tables are for sessions in our London training rooms, per one person.
On customer's request we conduct trainings in London, other locations in UK and anywhere in Europe, either at the customer's premises or in any other place, on either customer's hardware or ours. For on-demand training costs see here.
Open sessions
The open (public) classes take place in our training rooms in London (directions).
Teaching modes available:
Day classes (all locations) - the course consists of two three-day training blocks (from Monday to Wednesday); 8 hours per day (from 9:00 to 17:00) including a lunch break. The blocks take place every three or four weeks.
Weekend classes (all locations) - classes take place during the weekend: Saturdays and Sundays, every two weeks, from 9:00 to 17:00 (8 hours per day). The whole course consists of 3 such weekend sessions.
In the weekend mode, the whole course takes therefore about two months, in the day mode about a month.
The course price includes refreshments: sweet snacks as well as hot and cold beverages.
The same course material can also be taught, as a whole or divided into parts, during classic training - namely, a sequence of PHP ZF-OOP, DB PROG, AJAX and AS3/FLASH training courses. These are typical training courses, lasting for a couple of days, taking place during workdays and in working hours; lunch and refreshments are included in their price. For more information, see the section detailing all PHP and web techniques training and courses.

On-demand training costs and registration
The prices provided in the general tables cover the cost of an open (public) training for one person in London.
In case of on-demand training at Customer's premises, you provide the necessary facilities (room, computers, projector), we send a trainer to conduct the training, and the cost of a session is calculated for the whole group.
The cost does not vary significantly with the number of participants. There is no minimum number of participants. We recommend no more than 10-12 participants, as above this number, the training becomes much less effective.
The cost of an on-demand training consists of:
- the base training cost, plus
- trainer travel and accommodation charges.
The base price of on-demand training varies on case-by-case basis, but it is usually about the price of an open training for 3-5 persons (regardless of your group size).
The typical travel and accommodation charge for the EU/Schengen zone is under 1250 GBP (1500 EUR) for a 5 day session. We do our best to keep it as low as possible in your location.
The payment can be in GBP or EUR whichever you prefer. When we send you a quotation with the exact amount in your currency, that amount will be valid for 3 months, regardless of any changes in the exchange rate.
