104 Developing the Acquia Certification Program with Heather James, Ben Ortega, Peter Manijak and Prasad Shirgoankar - Modules Unraveled Podcast

## 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?
