An Adobe Certified Professional specialty credential in Visual, Video, or Web 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.
