The exam is designed to be challenging, yet fair for Liferay developers. Here’s how you can succeed:

This exam is based off of the Liferay Training course Back-end Developer as well as the Liferay DXP 7.2 Developer Guide.
Attend the Back-end Developer training course. Attending training is not required before you sit for the exam, but much of the exam material is based on concepts covered in training.
Review the additional source material. Liferay Developer Network is an amazing complementary source of information for the exam.
Get hands-on development experience. Some of the topics covered on the exam require the kind of knowledge that comes from real experience developing for the Liferay Platform.
