Introduction
In close collaboration with the TYPO3 Education Committee, the TYPO3 Company has updated the certification model to better reflect the needs of professionals who want to validate and expand their expertise.
As of March 2026, a revised pricing structure and a new certification bundle will apply. The updated model provides structured access to preparation resources, transparent pricing, and predictable certification planning over a two-year period.
Why the Change: Quality, Clarity, and Planning Security
Certification plays a central role in maintaining professional standards across the TYPO3 ecosystem. The updated model introduces a clearer structure for access, pricing, and preparation materials.
The training platform now includes mock exams to support structured preparation. Certifications remain aligned with active TYPO3 LTS versions to ensure technical relevance.
Access to all TCCx certification types is consolidated into one unified bundle model. Certification attempts at physical events are not limited in number. Up to four online attempts are included within the two-year validity period.
The new structure establishes transparent and predictable certification costs for agencies, freelancers, and individual professionals.
TYPO3 Association Membership and Official TYPO3 Partner discounts continue to apply.

Example Calculation: Realistic Cost Comparison
In 2025, a median of 29% of candidates did not pass their exam on the first attempt. Editor and Integrator certifications showed the highest retake rates, between 40% and 44%.
Below, you will find a realistic team scenario.
Initial certification costs:
1 × TCCD = €600
2 × TCCC = €1,600
2 × TCCI = €800
1 × TCCE = €120
Initial total: €3,120
Assuming two retakes:
1 × TCCI retake = €400
1 × TCCE retake = €120
Adjusted total: €3,640 — a median of €606 per certification.
This does not include preparation materials or internal training time.
Same Scenario with the Certification Bundle
The company purchases six certification bundles for each employee:
6 × €840 = €5,040
Valid for two years.
Within that period:
- Each employee completes at least one certification.
- Three employees complete an additional certification (common combinations: the TCCD holder also takes TCCI; both TCCC holders also take TCCE).
- Retakes generate no additional exam fees.
Result: at least 9 certifications within a fixed, predictable budget — a median of €560 per certification.
The financial difference compared to the adjusted single-exam scenario is moderate. The strategic difference is significant:
- No additional cost for retakes
- Opportunity for cross-certification
- Two-year planning security
- Reduced administrative overhead
For small teams with only one planned certification, the single-exam model remains suitable. For growing teams or agencies with ongoing certification needs, the bundle provides structural and financial clarity.
Transition and Planning

- Existing certifications remain valid
- Single certifications continue to be available
- All certification bookings and payments will be handled exclusively via my.typo3.org
