What educators are saying.
"The best part is once these students graduate, they take the certification with them. We work with industry partners and they have told us Adobe Certified Professional certification is important for students to show they are proficient."
- Regional Occupation Programs Superintendent, California
"It helps them to feel confident in their abilities with the Adobe programs. More importantly though, it helps them to land a job. When you pass the certification, you get a badge that you can put on your resume, and that signals to employers that you know what you're talking about when it comes to the software."
- Associate Professor and Program Coordinator, Missouri
"The certification proves you know not only how to use the Adobe product, but you know the processes to create for another person, for a client."
- CTE Instructional Coach, Louisiana
