The environments you protect with Commvault® Cloud are increasingly complex, and the expectations on your teams that run them are higher than ever. It’s no longer just about knowing the platform. It’s about being able to operate, protect, and recover, often under pressure.
If you’ve already started your learning journey in the Readiverse Academy, welcome back. And if you’re new here, you’re joining at the right time.
Today, we’re introducing a structured, tiered certification approach that gives learners a clear, skill‑based path from foundational platform knowledge to advanced cloud engineering expertise.
We Build Content for You
Commvault Cloud environments demand expertise across multiple responsibilities, often within the same role. Administrators, security specialists, cloud engineers, and workload owners require different depths and breadths of knowledge. And not everyone needs to learn the same things, in the same order, to be effective.
The new Readiverse Academy certification tiers reflect that reality. Learners progress through clearly defined levels that build on one another so that your certification aligns to what you actually do and validates those capabilities to the teams you work with.
- Commvault Cloud Practitioner – foundational platform and resilience knowledge.
- Commvault Cloud Specialist – expanded operational and security depth.
- Commvault Cloud Professional – advanced recovery and workload expertise.
- Commvault Cloud Expert – full cloud engineering and resilience leadership.
Each tier is earned through a combination of coursework, hands‑on lab activities, and validated assessments. As learners progress, the scope and depth of operational capability demonstrated increases accordingly.
A Clear Path Practitioner to Expert
The certification program is built around three core skill pillars that run through every level:
- Foundational platform skills
- Cyber resilience concepts
- Workload and feature expertise
Each tier adds focused requirements across those pillars. Learners can complete individual courses or combine designated requirements to reach certification goals.
Already in Readiverse Academy? What this Means for You.
With a new structure like this, the most important question is what it means for the progress you’ve already made. If you’ve already completed courses or earned certifications in the Readiverse Academy, congratulations! Your investment matters, and we want to be clear about what happens next.
Those certifications represent your history and accomplishments with Commvault. The new program is aligned to our expanded portfolio of cyber resilience features for Commvault Software, Commvault SaaS, and hybrid environments. As your needs grow to require more from Commvault, these courses and certifications will help you configure, manage, and optimize Commvault to meet your organization’s unique needs.
There is no direct progression from the previous certification tracks to the new program, but your existing certifications validate your expertise on the former product releases. As those releases are retired, those certifications will reach end of life as well. Learners who are already invested in the Readiverse Academy are well positioned to progress quickly.
