## Acquia Certification Program

 

* First off, what is the Acquia Certification Program?

* Who was involved in developing the curriculum?

* I took a quick look, and it seems that there are four parts to the test. Are those taken individually? Or all together? (And what are the sections?)

    * Will this accurately assess front-end developers? Or Backend/Sitebuilders.

    * What about specialists?

* How is the exam administered?

* Where can people take the test?

* There has been talk about certifications in the past. Some have been for it, and some have been opposed. What kind of feedback have you received so far?

 

## Future

* Will you be updating the program regularly?  Absolutely

* Will there be a D7 version and a D8 version?  It will depend on the exam and the need s of the role we are validating

* Should other certification programs be developed?

 

## Questions from Twitter
