A massive congratulations to our Magento specialists Chloe, Pembo, Ricki and Tom W on passing their Magento Solutions Specialist exams last week!

This means iWeb are now the top UK Magento Enterprise Partners!

What is a Magento Solutions Specialist?

According to the Magento website “a Magento specialist is someone who can demonstrate a Magento 2 Solution Specialist is an expert user of the Magento 2 e-commerce platform.

Drawing on a deep background in business and e-commerce, the Magento 2 Solution Specialist can efficiently align business objectives with Magento 2 functionality, optimise use of native features, and avoid unnecessary customisation.

Whether as a merchant, a manager, a consultant, or an analyst, the Magento 2 Solution Specialist knows how to make the best use of Magento 2 features and functionality”.

To pass the Magento Solutions Specialist exams, candidates need to have a sound understanding of a variety of areas including eCommerce, Magento Architecture and Magento Admin & Storefront.

The scenario based exam focused on the skills and knowledge needed to:

  • Design and manage a Magento project from a business perspective
  • Determine how to meet requirements with native configurations and when customisation is necessary
  • Understand what makes eCommerce work
  • Act as an arbiter between the technical and business team members which also requires an understanding of their knowledge

The exam is made up of 60 multiple choice questions and is taken within 90 minutes and 75% of questions need to be answered correctly to pass the exam.

Why take the exam?

Taking the exam allows Project Managers and Account Directors to gain a deeper understanding of how Magento works as well as providing clients with a sense of comfort knowing that the point of contact between them and the development team has more in-depth knowledge.

We’re proud to now have 15 Magento 2 certifications across the team at iWeb, meaning we are now 1 of 12 Magento Enterprise Partners in the UK!

“I’m really proud of all the time and effort the team has put in to gain these certifications. Hopefully, these are the first of many as we try to work towards our goal of getting every team member Certified” – Andrew Pemberton, Magento Development Director
