Acquia Site Builder D10

It is an online proctored exam taken on Acquia Academy with Acquia's testing partner, ProctorU. You need a compatible Windows or Mac computer with a webcam (internal or external), a browser extension in Chrome or Firefox, and the Logmein applet. Acquia advises reviewing the hardware and software requirements several days ahead and scheduling at least 24 hours before you want to sit the exam.

Acquia's certification pages do not publish the exam fee, the number of questions, the time limit, or the passing score. Those details appear in the exam catalog entry on Acquia Academy when you register. Treat any figure you see elsewhere as unverified and confirm it in the catalog before you pay.

Yes. You must register again and either pay full price or use a coupon or voucher. After a failed attempt you must wait at least two weeks before retaking. A candidate may attempt any exam a maximum of three times, and a fourth attempt requires a waiver from the Acquia Certification Program office. You receive your score by email if you do not pass.

You may cancel or reschedule an online exam up to 24 hours before the scheduled time for a full refund; cancelling inside that 24-hour window gives no refund. Missed exams fall under a strict no-show policy: you forfeit that attempt, get no refund, and must register and pay or use a new voucher to try again.

No. Acquia states that its certifications do not expire. However, Acquia notes that Drupal and its products evolve and that there can be major differences between versions, so keeping your certification current is important. Practically, that means re-testing when you move to a substantially different Drupal version.

Start with Acquia's published study guides, which explain the nature of each exam, point to learning resources, and give exam-taking tips. Then get hands-on: build content types, fields, displays, and layouts in a Drupal 10 sandbox, and practise exporting and importing configuration. Instructor-led training from Acquia or select Acquia Partners is available if you prefer structured teaching.

Two patterns dominate. First, knowing the UI but not the underlying concept, so a question phrased around configuration management or display logic trips them up. Second, skipping the study guide and relying on general Drupal familiarity, which leaves gaps in the specific areas the exam weights. Read the blueprint, then fill gaps deliberately rather than reviewing what you already know.

Yes. Your passing score appears on screen and you can download your certificate directly from Acquia Academy. Once your profile exists on the Certification Registry, you can download your badge and extra certificate copies, and add a profile picture, GitHub, Drupal.org, and Twitter IDs, and portfolio sites. Registry listings take up to 48 hours to appear.

Contact ProctorU Support, not Acquia. You can submit a request or use chat through the ProctorU support page, or call the ProctorU support line. Their portal also has self-help links, videos, and articles for test candidates covering setup and launch problems.

Yes. Acquia customers and Partners can buy bulk vouchers for any exam by contacting the certification team or their Account Manager or Partner Manager. Individual candidates register through the Certification Exam catalog on the appropriate Acquia Academy branch.
