This Illustrator advanced & Adobe certified professional training course is for those who have completed the introduction course and seek professional guidance to understand Illustrator at an advanced level.
Our experienced training instructors will be there to assist you in preparing for the Adobe Certified Professional exam on the final day.
Our accelerated learning format allows you to digest more information whilst making it more memorable. The emphasis is on how the brain works. The most important factor about a training course is what you remember afterwards, and that's our number one focus.
Over the three days of training, you’ll learn how to create compound paths, raster effects, workflows and more.
Our experienced training instructors will be with you to help you undertake the Adobe certification exam. Afterwards, if you pass, you can publicise your accreditation with Adobe digital badges, which provide a standardised certification outcome.
You must take the exam on a non-work (home) computer using a browser (Chrome, EDGE, or Safari) connected to your home broadband connection (no VPN). You don't need Adobe software installed to take the exam. The exam is delivered in Windows mode, but since you're connecting via a browser, it doesn't matter if you're a Windows or MacOS user.
The first two training days will focus on learning the advanced features, including workflows, custom brushes, transparency and more! The third day will focus on Adobe certification, with preparation in the morning and the exam in the afternoon.
This course is for designers, marketers, and developers who have previously attended a starter course and want to become Adobe certified.
You must already possess basic computer skills, such as knowing how to open and save files onto a computer.
Our Accelerated learning approach at Certitec is unique within the Adobe training industry. Our focus is not on what you learn, but how you learn. Referred to as ‘Accelerated Learning’, this process allows you to digest a significant amount of information more quickly, and more easily than through other methods.
Find out more about our Accelerated learning process.
The final day of your course will be focused on the official Adobe Illustrator exam objectives.
– Exam preparation - 10am – 1pm
– Undertaking exam - 1.30pm – 2.45pm (exam itself 50 mins)
You must undertake the exam on a non-work (home) computer in a browser (Chrome, EDGE or Safari) which is connected to your home broadband connection (no VPN). You don't need any Adobe software installed to undertake the exam itself. The exam is delivered in Windows mode but since you're connecting via a browser - it doesn't matter if you're a Windows or MacOS user.
Exam format
– Section 1 - multiple choice - covering approximately 10 questions
– Section 2 - actually ‘driving' the Adobe application to complete tasks - covering approximately 30 questions
Should you not pass the first time, you can retake the exam (up to 2 separate free attempts are allowed) for no charge when the course runs again in our schedule.
The Adobe certified professional (ACP) exam is facilitated solely by Certiport and their testing solution (Exams from Home [EFH]).
See our booking conditions should the Certiport EFH system become inaccessible or inoperable.
Classroom training has many advantages over other formats of training since in-person interaction and communication plays an extremely important part to absorbing information.
Classroom training allows you to get trained in a safe, quiet, clean environment, away from the noise and pressures of the office or home. The classroom environment provides the important “human touch,” which is often missing in technology-based training.
You can’t beat real life interaction when asking important questions and receiving immediate feedback.
Other benefits of classroom training include:
Remote professional Adobe training allows high-quality training to be delivered anywhere globally.
In addition to the positive aspect of no travel, our remote training courses also allow you to interact with the trainer and ask questions just like you were right in front of them.
Our remote training courses include videos, which makes them extremely valuable when you wish to review some or all of the courses you just completed to keep things fresh and thus increase memory retention.
Is the training just 'watching', or is it interactive?
The training is interactive, just like in the training room with the trainer. You will download the training files and work with your experienced instructor through modular exercises.
Is there any pre or post-study required before undertaking any course?
No, there is none. - If you have booked an 'Adobe certified' course with us, you can view some sample documents we send before your exam. However, this might only affect your scoring by a couple of percent.
What if I am unwell on the morning of my course?
This is just fine from a course perspective since you can re-arrange it again (according to our course schedule) for no fee.
We start at 9.30 am and finish at 4.30 pm with plenty of breaks and 40 minutes for lunch.
Can I jump immediately to an advanced course?
Delegates attending an Advanced course must already possess at least 85% of the knowledge of the (previous) Introduction course. This is so you are not out of your depth in the Advanced course, and other delegates might not be affected.
Can I work on my agenda during the training?
Our courses are scheduled and run with the same outline and objectives. While our trainers can answer some ad hoc questions, we cannot provide specific information on your project.
Do I receive a video after my course is completed?
You will receive a video of the applicable course for future playback when you complete your course.
Is there any technical support afterwards?
We don’t leave you high and dry after your course. Our technical support is provided for a lifetime.
Will I get a certificate for attending?
Yes - your certificate of attendance will be emailed after completing your training course.
How do I obtain the Adobe Creative Cloud software?
Adobe offers a free trial for each application if you wish to try before subscribing.
Become an Adobe certified professional, build a unique portfolio, and gain a professional certification communicating your advanced Adobe knowledge. That’s what becoming Adobe certified is about.
What if I fail my Adobe certification exam?
Should you not pass the first time, you can retake the exam (up to 2 separate free attempts are allowed) for no charge when the course runs again in our schedule.
I become Adobe certified a couple of years ago. Does this mean I'm still Adobe certified?
When you pass an Adobe certified professional (or the retired Adobe certified associate) exam, you will always be approved in the specific version of the exam you undertook.
For example, if you become Adobe certified in Premiere Pro CC2022, you will always possess this accreditation.
However, as time passes, Adobe will release more recent versions of the exams (e.g. CC2025, etc). Therefore, you must pass the latest Adobe certified professional exam version to remain current.
