Since the introduction of nopCommerce certification program in January 2016, we've got 50 certified nopCommerce specialists. Following our goal to expand the world of nopCommerce and to ensure the quality of nopCommerce specialists we decided to make certification more accessible. We drop the price of certification to 100$ for now - https://www.nopcommerce.com/p/2127/certified-developer-program.aspx
Good move, indeed Andrei. This will make it affordable to many developers.
