GOT QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

Real questions from our community, answered by our experts

Is Zend Framework still relevant, or should I learn Laravel?

+

Zend Framework (now the Laminas Project) is highly relevant for enterprise applications, large-scale systems, and companies that value strict design patterns and maintainability. While Laravel is excellent for rapid development, Zend/Laminas is often preferred for complex, long-term enterprise projects. Learning it opens doors to specialized, high-value roles.

Do I need prior PHP experience?

+

Yes, a solid understanding of core PHP and basic Object-Oriented Programming concepts is required. The course starts with an advanced PHP refresher but moves quickly into Zend-specific concepts. If you're new to PHP, we recommend our foundational PHP course first.

What is the difference between Zend and Laminas?

+

Zend Framework was transitioned to the Linux Foundation and renamed the Laminas Project. It's the same framework with continued development and community support. Our course covers Zend Framework 3 and guides you through migrating to Laminas, ensuring you learn both the established and modern standards.

What kind of job support do you provide?

+

Our job support includes: 1) Portfolio and resume reviews tailored for Zend/Laminas roles, 2) Mock technical interviews focusing on PHP and framework-specific questions, 3) Direct referrals to our hiring partner network, and 4) Career guidance until you secure a position.

Will I get a certificate?

+

Yes, upon successful completion of all projects and the final capstone, you will receive a verifiable "PHP Zend Framework Certification" from Lead With Skills, which is recognized by our industry partners.

How much time do I need to dedicate per week?

+

We recommend 10-12 hours per week. This includes 4 hours of live sessions and mentorship, and 6-8 hours of self-paced project work, practice, and assignments.

What if I miss a live session?

+

All live sessions are recorded and available in your student dashboard. You can review them anytime. You can also schedule 1:1 doubt-clearing sessions with your mentor.

What software/tools do I need?

+

You'll need a computer (Windows, macOS, or Linux), a code editor (like VS Code), PHP 7.4+, Composer, and a local server environment (XAMPP/MAMP or Docker). We provide detailed setup guides in Week 1.

Is the course fee a one-time payment?

+

Yes, the fee of ₹18,999/$224 is a one-time payment for the entire 12-week program, including all mentorship, projects, and job support. No hidden charges.

Do you offer any payment plans or discounts?

+

We offer a limited number of early-bird discounts. We also have a 2-part payment plan option available. Please chat with our team on WhatsApp for current offers and plan details.
