Becoming a Zend PHP Certified Engineer

Posted in Company News

Zend Certified EngineerEven though I have never been a big fan of certifications, diplomas, and the likes as substitutes for a good dose of hands-on work experience, I decided to test my PHP knowledge which I accumulated over the years, and sit for the ZCE exam. For those of you who don’t know what a ZCE exam is, you can check it out here. Getting PHP certified is an excellent way to test your PHP knowledge AND differentiating yourself when approaching prospective clients and employers.
 
First, I went to the Zend Certification website to check out the suggested study material needed to prepare for the exam. Then, I wrote a study plan! What comes next is a step-by-step description of what I did to prepare for the ZCE exam which I took and passed on first try on July 25th, 2008. Of course, this may or may not work for you.

  1. Zend PHP5 Study GuideI purchased the Zend PHP 5 Certification Study Guide by Davey Shafik and Ben Ramsey. Being a real maniac when it comes to taking tests, I also got my hands on a PHP 4 study guide. I studied them both THOROUGHLY. For each chapter I read, I wrote down on a sheet of paper all the functions (and parameters) and concepts which were mentioned in the books.
  2. I then went to the PHP website and studied every single word mentioned in the Language Reference, Security section, Features section, and part of the Function Reference.
     
    In the Function Reference I concentrated on the following sections:
    http://www.php.net/manual/en/refs.basic.php.php
    http://www.php.net/manual/en/refs.compression.php
    http://www.php.net/manual/en/refs.xml.php
    http://www.php.net/manual/en/refs.database.php

     
    PHP.NETIn the Database Extensions section, I studied the PDO, and the MySqli section very carefully. I reviewed the most used PHP.INI directives.To those of you who are thinking that they can pass the ZCE exam just by reading the study guide: it doesn’t work that way. The exam tests BOTH your PHP knowledge accumulated on the job AND language syntax (functions and parameters, etc) which you can only know by reading the PHP Manual very carefully.
  3. I purchased a 10-exam pack of mock tests from Vulcan. I suggest everybody try these tests beforeZend Mock Exams sitting for the actual exam as they give you a chance to get acquainted with the test format and difficulty level. Some people have complained they took and passed the mock exams but failed the real one. I believe the key here is to actually get excellent grades on the mock exams rather than just passing them. With regard to the difficulty level of mock exams as compared to the real ones, I can only say there are almost unnoticeable differences between the two. Taking notes of stuff I never heard of on the mock exams and studying them afterwards really helped me further my PHP knowledge. I bought 10 exams, but I actually took just 5. Why? Because many of the questions on the exams are repeated over the over again on subsequent exams. Thus, you tend to memorize questions which actually defeats the whole purpose of taking sample tests.
  4. Scheduled a test date, sit, and passed on first try!

 
I hope this step-by-step process will benefit others while preparing for their ZCE exam. I’m actually willing to donate my remaining 5 mock exams credits to whoever asks for it first!
 
Here’s a pdf file of my php5 notes

    Do you have a downloadable version of your function/cheat sheet available? (I’m refering to your quote below)

    ” For each chapter I read, I wrote down on a sheet of paper all the functions (and parameters) and concepts which were mentioned in the books.”

  2. Kazi Mohammad Ekram Says:

    Congrats you for your certification. I am also preparing myself for the ZCE. Your suggestion looks great. It will be helpful for me if you donate your remaining mock exams.

  3. Frank Says:

    lami, I will gather my notes and make a pdf. Right now they are handwritten and hard to read.

    kazi, I will send you the link

  4. Seed Says:

    How many months did you dedicate? You are most kind to post your experience. Can you also send me the pdf, as I have limited materials to help pass the exam.

    Congratulations! Aug 4th, that was only days ago!

  5. Frank Says:

    seed,

    Thanks!

    I prepared for it in less than a month. I will send the pdf as soon as I have it ready, but everything you need to know is in the manual, really.

  6. lami Says:

    The manual is pretty much an encyclopedia and my guess is it scares people when you say use the manual.

    Most of use will like a curricullum or something of the sort to work with and then reference the manual (like we already do).

    Thanks for taking your time to put this stuff on PDF men…

  7. Mads Jensen Says:

    Hi frank
    im currently reading up for the zend certification exam and i fell over this blog, i was wondering if it was possible i could get a look on your notes like lami :) that would be great!!
    - Mads

  8. Stephen Says:

    Thanks for the ideas. I am currently preparing as well to take the exam at the end of September (set the date to force me to study). I bought the 5 pack mock exam, gone thru 2 of them (passed both, but not using that as a guide that I will actually pass). Bought the PDF version of the book, and have been using that and the web for trying to get this thing done. Looking at your list, it is very helpful to see what you did to prepare for the exam. Pointing out which sections you studied will help me concentrate on the areas as well. Thanks for this.

  9. Sam Says:

    Congrats for your success.
    I am also preparing myself for the ZCE for a long run but i am so idle to take it serious.
    but this time i am serious and your guideline looks great.
    It would be great for me if you share your mock exams or your pdf version.

  10. Alex Says:

    Hi, Frank, Congratulations on your passing the ZCE certificate!
    I am kind of a php addict. Currently I’m also preparing for the ZCE exam now, and determine to pass it on my first try, so I really need to be fully prepared and do a lot of study and search, I wonder if I can get a copy of your pdf which should definitely be a treasure for me :) Thanks in advance!

  11. Poornima Says:

    Hey ! I have 2.5 yrs of experience on php and currently working on e-commerce websites, want to appear for Zend certification. Would it be right time for me to prepare for this certification.

    Please advice !

  12. Frank Says:

    Poornima,

    2.5 years of php experience is enough to sit for the Zend PHP exam. go for it!

    all others,

    I will attach a pdf file of my notes soon. I’ve been extremely busy with work. thanks

  13. Saidur Rahman Says:

    This is a nice guideline for preparing the ZCE . I myself try to follow the instruction you discuss. If you send me your mock exams or your pdf version , that will be great help for my preparation.

  14. Adam Says:

    Hey Frank!
    Sounds like your revision is similar to mine, not sticking to the book I found was a good idea as their are missing topics.

    I have linked to this post on my Zend PHP 5 Certification Blog:
    http://zend.is-hacked.com

    Seems your hand writing is nearly as bad as mine, may have to re-write your PDF on computer see if I have missed anything..

    Adam.

    Adam,

    sometimes I can’t even read my own handwriting. I guess that’s common among programmers as we barely handwrite anymore? thanks for linking to this post. I hope it will benefit others.
