From March 18 to 19, 2025, I was in Jena with the TCCI team at dreistrom.land AG. We had set ourselves an ambitious goal: To create at least 10 new exam questions for the TYPO3 v13 Integrator certification.

The result exceeded all expectations

Instead of the planned 10 questions, we developed a whopping 23 new exam questions that specifically address the new features of TYPO3 v13.

The process: more complex than expected

Creating a good certification question means more than just formulating a question:

  • The wrong answers must be plausible
  • Every code snippet must work in Composer and Legacy installations
  • All content must be consistent with the official documentation

We pay attention to a balanced distribution of topics: TypoScript, security, templating, backend configuration and many other aspects are covered.

Preparatory work for TYPO3 v13

In the months before we have already:

  • Checked the existing question pool for v13 compatibility
  • Updated the curriculum on SkillDisplay
  • Worked intensively on the latest features of TYPO3 v13

Many thanks to my excellent colleagues in the TCCI team: Sarah McCarthy, Oliver Thiele and Axel Hempelt. Without their expertise and commitment, this intensive work would not have been possible.

You can read the full report on typo3.org.

Which new features in TYPO3 v13 do you find particularly exciting for integration?

Which topics should definitely be covered in the certification?

I look forward to your comments!

Hi, I'm Wolfgang.

I have been working with TYPO3 since 2006. Not in theory, but in real projects with real deadlines. I've probably had the problems you're having three times already.

At some point, I started putting my knowledge into video courses. Not because I like being in front of the camera, but because I kept hearing the same questions over and over again. There are now hundreds of videos. Every single one was the result of a specific question from a specific project.

What makes me different from a YouTube tutorial: I not only know the solution, but also the context. Why something works. When it doesn't work. And which mistakes you can avoid because I've already made them.

My participants use me as a sparring partner. Not in the sense of "call me anytime", but like this: You come to the live session with a specific problem, post your question in the community or watch the appropriate video. And get an answer that works because it comes from practical experience.

As a member of the TYPO3 Education & Certification Committee, I make sure that the certification exams are kept up to date. What is tested there flows directly into my courses.
