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.
