ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Accredited Symbian Developer

Okay, imagine you want to be great at building sandcastles. You might ask someone who is really good at it to teach you. But before they can teach you, they need to know that you are serious about learning and that you won't just make a mess in the sand.

Being an accredited Symbian developer is kind of like that. If you want to build really cool apps and games for phones that use the Symbian operating system, you need to show that you are serious about it and that you know what you are doing. You do this by getting accredited, which means getting approval from people who really know their stuff and can say that you are a good sandcastle builder, um, developer.

To become accredited, you need to pass some tests to show that you understand how to use certain tools and techniques to make apps for Symbian phones. Just like you might learn new techniques for building better sandcastles, doing well on these tests will show that you know the best ways to make great apps for Symbian phones.

Once you become accredited, you can show off your new skills to others who might want to hire you to make apps for them. Basically, it means that you have a special stamp of approval that says you are really good at building apps for Symbian phones.
