Zend has recently teamed up with several of the top people in the PHP community to offer the PHP 5.3 Certification.  It will be coming out in a few months, but before we can do that we need beta testers.  That means YOU!  If you want to participate all you need to do is fill out a quick qualification survey.  Everyone who takes the survey can take the final certification at a discounted rate!  Even if you aren't chosen for the beta!  These are the questions you will be asked (fill them out on the link, not on this page).

The survey will be open until July 15th.

If you pass the beta exam, will it count as an official certification? Or do you need to retake the final exam?

I don’t believe it will be counted as official. However, IIRC, beta exam takers will be able to re-take the exam either for free or at a greatly reduced price.

I don’t know offhand. I assume that whoever was handling the survey would be handling the results as well.
