Symfony Developer
From zero to professional level: master PHP and Symfony to build robust web applications and land your first role
Presentation
The Symfony Developer programme is a complete training that takes you from scratch to the level of a professional PHP developer capable of designing and deploying robust web applications with the Symfony framework.
This programme includes three progressive stages: PHP basics, Object-Oriented Programming, and then the Symfony framework itself. Each stage is an essential building block for the next. You advance by genuinely mastering each concept before moving to the next level.
By the end of this programme, you will be able to:
- Write professional, structured and maintainable PHP code
- Design a complete web application with Symfony
- Manage relational databases with Doctrine ORM
- Implement secure authentication
- Build REST APIs consumable by front-end applications
- Deploy a Symfony application to production

Frequently asked questions
No. The programme starts from PHP basics. If you already have those basics, you join from the OOP module. If you already master OOP, you join directly at the Symfony module. A positioning interview will help determine your entry point.
The training is in-person, with 2 sessions of 4 hours per week, totalling 8 hours per week throughout the programme.
Yes, provided you can demonstrate real mastery of the corresponding concepts. We will assess your level before positioning you at the right stage of the programme. However, the programme fee remains 150,000 CFA regardless of your entry point. Taking the modules separately costs more overall — 35,000 + 50,000 + 100,000 = 185,000 CFA — so enrolling directly in the full programme is the more cost-effective option if Symfony is your goal.
