Liferay Certification Retirement and New Certifications FAQs
As of February 2nd, 2024, we have made the decision to retire previously available Certifications for Liferay DXP. While the content for those certifications continues to be available, the tests have been decomissioned.
We've made this decision because Liferay DXP has evolved significantly over the last few years and our learning content and related certification process has not kept pace with that evolution. While the subject matter covered in the older Back-end and Front-end developer continues to be valid, that content does not cover many newer important functionalities like: Objects, Custom Elements, and Client Extensions. These newer features and capabilities supersede and replace older approaches.

New role-based certifications will begin to roll out later this year. Watch Liferay Learn site for updates.
We're still working through the details but we plan to emphasize new "Role-based" certifications along with updated "Front-end Developer" and "Application Developer" paths. The first of these new Role-Based certifications coming will be "Liferay Practitioner". We will provide new updates and details as we move forward.
Certifications for 7.3 and previous versions of Liferay remain valid until End of Life is reached for the respective version. For previously attained certifications relating to Liferay 7.4 it will be necessary to recertify within before the end of 2024, in order to maintain your Liferay 7.4 Certification status.
