Certification registry
If you opted in to sharing your data during the registration process, once you have passed an exam, your data will be transmitted to the Acquia Certification Registry, our source of truth for credentials (allow up to 48 hours for this transmission). Potential employers use the registry to look for Drupal and Acquia product talent, and many of our partners use the registry to market their team’s skills.
The Acquia Certification Registry uses the data in your account profiles to create your registry profile, so if that information is out of date, so will be your registry listing.

Acquia Triple Certified Drupal Expert designation
Note
This designation was formerly known as Acquia Certified Drupal Grand Master.
The Acquia Triple Certified Drupal Expert designation is earned by any Drupalist who has demonstrated advanced Drupal expertise by achieving certification in the Acquia Certified Developer, Acquia Certified Back End Specialist, and Acquia Certified Front End Specialist exams of the same Drupal version.
No separate exam is required to become an Acquia Triple Certified Drupal Expert. The Acquia Certification Program awards this credential to Drupalists who pass all three of the exams. Acquia awards this designation for all versions of Drupal.
There is no certificate for an Acquia Triple Certified Drupal Expert designation. Instead, this designation is indicated in the Acquia Certification Registry Experts listing . The user’s profile will display an Acquia Triple Certified Drupal Expert badge for the respective Drupal version once the designation is achieved.
Can I achieve the Acquia Triple Certified Drupal Expert designation by mixing certifications of different Drupal versions?
No. The Acquia Triple Certified Drupal Expert designation is specific to a major Drupal version. To earn the Acquia Triple Certified Drupal Expert designation, you must pass the Developer, Front End Specialist, and Back End Specialist certification exams of the same major Drupal version.
