Adobe specialty credentials for advanced certification

Earn specialty credentials.

Supercharge your creativity and career growth by earning industry certifications for multiple powerful Adobe tools.

What’s a specialty credential and how can I earn one?

An Adobe Certified Professional specialty credential in Visual, Video, Web or Marketing Design is automatically awarded to an individual who completes an eligible pair of certifications.

These credentials require knowledge of two products that are frequently used together in the industry. For example, if you’re already certified for Premiere Pro, you’ll receive a badge and specialty credential for Video Design once you pass either the Photoshop or After Effects exam.
Both certifications must be earned through live-in-the-app exams (2018 or later).
