• 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
