This training, which follows the course "Getting started with Symfony 7", will help you acquire the key concepts of a whole project. SensioLabs University has designed the best Symfony training experience, combining face-to-face and e-learning. In addition to face-to-face training, access to our online review platform for 1 month allows you to combine different learning practices, test your skills, follow your progress and stay in touch with your trainer on throughout the duration of the program.
Level: Intermediate
Duration: 2 days
Available languages: English, French, German
Prerequisites: Good knowledge of PHP and object oriented programming. Mastery of Symfony 7 fundamentals. See the SF7START training.
Goals: During these 2 days of training, the objective of this training is to take control of the framework to master its different cogs. You will learn the principle of dependency injection and learn how to use the service registry appropriately and effectively. You will also learn how to interact with the functioning of Symfony via events, and you will learn how to configure an access rights policy on the application. Finally, for a practical approach to Symfony, you will create your own commands to make your developer's life easier.
Evaluation Method:
A control of knowledge in the form of multiple choice questions is carried out during and at the end of the training. It allows to validate and take back the points not assimilated.
A certificate of successful completion of a training action is sent to the learner.
A copy of the attendance sheet is transmitted.

See details : Mathieu SantostefanoWhy SensioLabs?
I’ve been using Symfony since version 3, so I wasn't sure what the 2-day Advancing course would actually teach me that I hadn't already Googled. But having a certified trainer who actually contributes to the core code makes a massive difference. We spent less time on basic syntax and more time on understanding the internals and how the different cogs actually move together. This training course helped me update my knowledge of Symfony, which has evolved a lot over the past few years. It taught me new skills to develop modern code using all the new features from the latest versions of Symfony and PHP.

Finding high-level PHP training that isn't just beginner basics is surprisingly hard. We needed something that would push our devs who already finished the 'Getting Started' track, and this was it. SensioLabs made everything easy, but the best thing was seeing how motivated the team was after the training course. I had great feedback from the team and managers. I think this is because it's a training course for developers made by developers. I also liked that the team could use an e-learning platform for a month after the course to improve their skills. This is a type of learning that mixes online and classroom learning, and I think it's really useful.
