This Liferay Certification Course takes you from portal fundamentals to enterprise-grade DXP implementation on Liferay's current 2026.Q1/Q2 architecture, including the new headless CMS, Liferay Workspace, Objects, and Client Extensions. You'll work through Blade CLI, Service Builder, OSGi modules, REST-based integrations, and Elasticsearch-backed search while building a deployable portal project. The curriculum maps to Liferay's official Application Developer and Building Enterprise Websites learning paths, so what you practice is what gets assessed.
This Liferay Certification Course is built for professionals who build, manage, or plan to certify on enterprise portal and digital experience platforms.
Certified Liferay professionals are in demand across enterprise IT, government, BFSI, and healthcare organizations that rely on Liferay for portals, intranets, and customer experience platforms.
igmGuru's Liferay Certification Course is built around what employers and Liferay's own certification blueprint currently expect from working professionals.
Liferay recently retired its legacy Front-End and Back-End Developer exams, which were tied to Liferay 6.x and early 7.x versions, and replaced them with a modernized, role-based Enablement and Certification program. Current official credentials include the Liferay Application Developer Certification, the Building Enterprise Websites with Liferay Certification, and newly announced role-based paths for Content Managers and Frontend Developers.
This course maps directly to the Application Developer and Building Enterprise Websites learning paths - covering Liferay Workspace, Liferay Objects, Client Extensions, and Headless APIs for the developer track, and site/content architecture for the website-building track. You'll finish with an igmGuru Course Completion Certificate, plus the exam-readiness to attempt Liferay's official certification directly through Liferay Learn whenever you're ready. Because Liferay updates its exam specifics periodically, always confirm current exam format and pricing on Liferay's official certification page before scheduling.
Liferay Certification is an official credential from Liferay Inc. that validates your ability to build, manage, or administer solutions on Liferay DXP. Liferay retired its older 6.x/7.x exams and rolled out a new role-based certification program in 2026, covering Application Development, Enterprise Website Building, Content Management, and Frontend Development — so a current certification now reflects skills employers actively look for on today's DXP releases.
For the developer-track modules (Service Builder, Client Extensions, Headless APIs), basic Java and object-oriented concepts help you move faster. If you're targeting site building, content management, or administration instead, you can start with only HTML/CSS familiarity — the course builds up from portal fundamentals either way.
Choose Application Developer if your work centers on custom modules, Objects, Client Extensions, and Headless APIs. Choose Building Enterprise Websites if you focus on site structure, page building, and content architecture. This course covers both foundations, so you can decide once you see which modules click for your role.
Most free tutorials and practice-question sites online still reference Liferay 6.x or 7.0-7.3 workflows and legacy certification formats that Liferay has since retired. This course is rebuilt around the current DXP 2026.Q1/Q2 architecture - including the new headless CMS and Client Extensions model - with live mentorship instead of static question banks.
Yes. Liferay didn't remove certification - it modernized it. The legacy Front-End/Back-End Developer exams tied to Liferay 6 and early 7 versions were retired, and Liferay replaced them with updated, role-based Learning Paths and Certifications that map to how DXP is actually built today, which makes the current credential more relevant to e
mployers, not less.
The core program runs 40 hours of live, instructor-led training, plus self-paced lab time and a capstone project. Batches are available on weekday and weekend schedules to fit around a full-time job.
Yes. Every module includes a guided lab - from setting up Liferay Workspace to building Objects, Client Extensions, and Headless API integrations - and the course closes with a capstone project where you build and deploy a working enterprise portal end to end.
Common roles include Liferay Developer, Liferay DXP Consultant, Liferay Solution Architect, Full Stack Java/Liferay Developer, and Digital Experience Platform Engineer. Enterprise IT, government, BFSI, and healthcare organizations are the most active hirers for Liferay-skilled professionals.
Yes. Since Liferay DXP 2026.Q1 introduced a headless content management system and moved legacy tools like Web Content, Blogs, and Documents & Media into maintenance mode, the course includes a dedicated module on the new CMS, content modeling for headless delivery, and what the transition means for existing implementations.
Yes, you'll receive an igmGuru Course Completion Certificate recognizing the skills and modules covered. This is separate from Liferay's own official certification exams, which you can then attempt directly through Liferay once you feel exam-ready.
