Hyvä, a Dutch company that provides Magento frontend solutions for e-commerce worldwide, is partnering with U.S.-based Kryterion, a leading online proctoring and certifications company, to launch Hyvä’s official certification platform.
The new Hyvä Certification validates developer expertise in building modern Magento stores with Hyvä Theme, implementing streamlined checkout experiences with Hyvä Checkout, and leveraging the broader Hyvä Commerce suite, according to a press statement shared with 150Sec.
Delivered via Kryterion Webassessor’s secure online proctoring system, the program provides a flexible and scalable way to certify developers, chosen for its ease of integration, rapid deployment, and unmatched reliability in the certification industry.
“Hyvä Certification is about empowering developers to build better, faster, and cleaner Magento stores,” said Vinai Kopp, Technical Director at Hyvä Themes B.V, at the recent Meet Magento Ukraine Event held in Kyiv.
Magento is one of the top three e-commerce companies worldwide, controlling around 8% of global e-commerce marketshare. Europe is particularly popular for the company, with 45% of Magento-powered sites coming from the region.
Hyvä has become a preferred frontend framework for Magento, because of its performance power, simplicity and ability to scale. Large European brands such as Volkswagen and Nestle run Hyvä, as well as international companies like Japan’s Citizen watches and U.S.-based Dunkin’ Doughnuts.
The company’s new partnership with Kryterion will leverage the company’s proven testing technology, ensuring a secure and seamless certification experience for candidates worldwide.
Kryterion’s Webassessor platform enables organisations to manage their certification programs entirely in-house, from exam creation to delivery, without additional publishing fees.
Its online proctoring technology offers a secure, convenient option for candidates to take exams from anywhere, while maintaining the highest standards of integrity.
It has worked with large organizations across multiple sectors including government, technology, legal and healthcare.
“We’re proud to partner with Hyvä to bring their certification vision to life,” said Angela Street, Chief Customer Success Officer at Kryterion. “Our shared commitment to expand testing access to individuals in Ukraine reflects the kind of positive, real-world impact we believe credentialing can have.”
