XcellAcademy|Acronis Training & Certification
Every Acronis course. A path for every role.
0 Acronis Academy courses and certifications an MSP team can earn — each with track, level, format, validity, cost and its Credly or acronis.com source, read on 7 November 2026. Then a suggested path for each of seven XcellHost roles, ribbon badges to download, and a tracker that reminds you before a certificate expires.

The Acronis Academy catalogue, checked at the source.
Acronis Academy runs a Sales track and a Technical track, each with three levels — Fundamentals, Associate and Professional — plus the newer Essentials programme for the Acronis Cyber Platform and the vendor-neutral MSP Academy. Credly shows the same levels as Foundational, Intermediate and Advanced. There is no “Expert” level.

Sources read 7 Nov 2026: credly.com/org/acronis badge pages (name, type, level, cost, and the 70% pass rule for each card), acronis.com/academy (two tracks, three levels, formats, 12-month validity, 8 languages), acronis.com/en/lp/academy-essentials-learning-program (six Essentials modules, 4–5 hours, self-paced), academy.acronis.com/en-us/catalogue (MSP Academy modules of 3–7 minutes, ~30-minute learning plans) and the Acronis blog on the 2020 curriculum (Sales/Tech tracks for premises-based solutions; Cloud Sales/Cloud Tech for cloud). Credly lists time only as “Hours”, so per-course durations are not stated. The academy page still says training is free until 31-Dec-2023; Credly lists every badge below as free today. No separate Cyber Files Cloud or Advanced Data Loss Prevention sales badge was found.
Which courses, in which order, for each role.
These are XcellHost's suggested internal paths, not Acronis requirements. Mandatory means mandatory in our suggested plan; Recommended is optional. Timelines are targets for a new joiner and can be adjusted by the team lead.
All paths are labelled suggested. Acronis says certifications help keep a partner compliant with its Partner Program, but it does not publish which courses each role must hold.
Build expertise. Deliver more. Be Acronis certified.
Explore the Acronis Academy certification badges across backup, disaster recovery, endpoint security, Microsoft 365, management, automation and professional services.
Illustrative XcellHost badge designs — official digital badges are issued by Acronis via Credly. These are not Acronis or Credly artwork and do not prove a certification; the Credly credential does.
Who holds what, and what expires next.
Add a colleague, mark the courses they have passed with the date and their Credly credential link, and the tracker works out expiry, progress against their role path and the team badge wall. It starts empty.

How certified staff count toward an Acronis partner tier.
The Acronis Partner Program for service providers has four tiers — Registered, Authorized, Gold and Platinum — reviewed every year. Acronis says Academy certifications are essential for staying compliant with the programme. Its partner data sheet (November 2024) sets a certificate count per tier.
XcellHost Acronis partner tier: confirm*
We are confirming XcellHost's current Acronis tier and partner score, so this page does not claim one. The meter above uses the certificates in your tracker only, as an indication.
Sources: Acronis Partner Program data sheet, dated 2024-11 (staticfiles.acronis.com), read 7 Nov 2026 — tier bands by partner score (Registered 0–7, Authorized 8–14, Gold 15–21, Platinum 22–23) and training and certification requirements (2, 4, 8 including 2 certified individuals, 16 including 4 certified individuals). The data sheet does not say which certificates count. Revenue requirements apply only to Gold and Platinum resellers and Platinum service providers and vary by region. acronis.com/en/partners/service-providers (updated 27 Oct 2026) lists the four tiers and benefits but no numbers. *Confirm the current rules in the Acronis Partner Portal. #TeamUp is the Acronis sports-partnership benefit at Gold and above, not a separate partner programme.
Acronis training, answered.
Credly lists every Acronis Academy badge on this page as free. Partners take the courses in the Acronis Partner Portal (training.acronis.com) with their partner login. The acronis.com/academy page still mentions free training “until 31-Dec-2023”, so confirm with the channel team if a course ever asks for payment.
Acronis Academy has a Sales track and a Technical track, each with three levels: Fundamentals, Associate and Professional. Credly labels them Foundational, Intermediate and Advanced. There is no Expert level. The Essentials programme for the Acronis Cyber Platform and MSP Academy badges are Foundational.
Acronis says its Sales and Technical certifications are valid for 12 months, so you recertify every year. Credly also lists short recertification courses, such as Cloud Sales Associate Security + XDR. Acronis does not state a validity period for Essentials or MSP Academy badges, so the tracker leaves their expiry blank unless you enter one.
Most badges need you to complete the course in the Acronis Partner Portal and score 70% or more on the assessment; some are a 70% exam on its own. Acronis offers self-guided online courses, live instructor-led classes, hands-on labs, e-labs and boot camps, in eight languages. Essentials takes 4–5 hours in total; MSP Academy modules take 3–7 minutes each.
Start with Essentials – Intro to Acronis Cyber Platform, then the Fundamentals course for your track: Cloud Sales Fundamentals for sales roles, Cloud Tech Fundamentals for technical roles. After that, follow your role path. The paths on this page are XcellHost suggestions, not Acronis requirements.
Yes. Acronis says Academy certifications are essential for staying compliant with its Partner Program. Its November 2024 data sheet asks for 2 certificates at Registered, 4 at Authorized, 8 (including 2 certified individuals) at Gold and 16 (including 4 certified individuals) at Platinum. XcellHost's own tier is being confirmed and is not claimed here.
