## 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 * [Tanay Sai](http://www.twitter.com/saitanay) Any plans to launch further specialization/levels? Like  for Architects, themers, Drupal PMs etc?  Yest, the Front end and Back end specialist exams are on the current roadmap.   Other are in pre-planning stages.
