Hello, all.

I work for a mid-sized web development company, and we do a lot of DNN work. I've mostly been learning how to work with DNN's module architecture by building modules for clients and learning as I go along.

However, we are now beginning to look at possibilities for getting at least some of our developers DNN Certified - is there any sort of certification process in place? I tried looking through Google and on the DNN site, and while I've seen a lot of mentions of it, I can't seem to find anything that actually tells me what I would need to do to get certified - or even if it's possible.

If someone could clear that up for me, it would be great.

Thanks,

I think ASP.Net certification should be enough.

What would you do with the certification if you could get one specifically for DNN?

Maybe Engage gives out a certificate for attending their training classes. 
As the official DotNetNuke training partner I would think they would be in the best position to certify you.

As a customer or potential employer I would look at a lot of other things to determine if you know your DNN.

By its nature various Microsoft certifications can be a basis for DNN certification.

A certified DNN professional should be able to:

• install, configure and optimize a dnn site
• teach content managers how to use dnn
• have a good knowledge about 3rd party components
• develop modules
• develop skins

Each of the above aspects of DNN can probably be specialism in itself.

What is the goal of certification? If I want to hire someone to do some ad hoc DNN job, I need a specialist. If I want to hire an employee, I probably want some broader skill set. I think one can learn all tricks of the trade, but it is my observation that people tend to develop some kind of preference for one or more of the above specialisms.

What else?
