This Illustrator training course is your fast track option where you'd start your journey as a new or inexperienced Illustrator user and end by becoming Adobe certified.
You’ll begin by getting to grips with the Illustrator interface, before learning about shapes, infographics and other more common features. You’ll then progress to the advanced features like workflows, compound paths and raster effects before sitting the certification exam.
This course will be delivered through our Accelerated learning approach, allowing you to learn more information, easier and more efficiently than standard training approaches.
Our Adobe certified training team will be with you all the way, helping you go from a beginner to an Adobe certified professional. Afterwards you can publicise your certification with Adobe digital badges which provide a standardised certified outcome.
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.
This course is for designers, marketers, developers or anyone looking to gain accreditation status in a short period of time.
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 first two days of training will focus on the starter features, including shapes, logo’s and basic infographics. Days three and four are targeted towards the more advanced features such as workflows, custom brushes, transparency and more. Day five will be focused on the certification exam with the first half of the day dedicated to exam preparation, before sitting the exam.
You’ll leave the training course with a solid understanding of how Illustrator works and have the confidence to create logos, workflows, shapes and lots more… including an Adobe certified status that further promotes your skill level.
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).

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 training introduces a virtually no-limits training option since it's extremely flexible. You can attend a remote training session anywhere in the world and has become increasingly popular over the last few years.
Remote training plays itself into your hands and you can harness technology to enable you to use traditional computers, tablets and even phones for complete flexibility.
You can see your trainer (webcam) and they will take you through the training session like you're actually attending a classroom training event.
Other benefits of remote training include:
Are there any discounts for individuals/self funders and charities?

How do I actually book my course?
Find the course you wish and then click on the ‘book now’ button and complete the form.
Please refer to our how to pay document.
How do I enter / use a PO when making my booking?
When you book your course and select the 'company' option - you will be able to enter a PO number into the relevant field. We will then issue your invoice with the PO embedded.
If you missed the PO field - just email us back with your PO and we'll do the rest.
We start at 9.30 and finish at 4.30pm with plenty of breaks and 40 minutes for lunch. For more details visit our specific timings page.
Is there any pre or post study required prior to undertaking any course?
The simple answer is no.
If you have booked an 'Adobe certified' course with us - you do have the option to view some sample documents we send across prior to your exam.
Although this would only affect your scoring by a couple of percent either way.
Adobe certified professional. Build a unique portfolio and gain a professional certification that communicates your advanced knowledge- that is what becoming Adobe certified is about.
Is there any technical support after the course completes?
After your course, we don’t leave you high-and-dry. Our technical support is provided for a lifetime.
How do I gain multiple Adobe certifications?
Become an Adobe certified professional with our Adobe certification masterclass. It will provide you with a solid qualification in the design / video sector and increase your chances of landing your dream job!
I become Adobe certified a couple of years ago. Does this mean I'm still Adobe certified?
When you undertake and pass an Adobe certified professional (or the retired 'Adobe certified associate) exam, then you will always be certified in the specific version of the exam you undertook.
e.g. You become Adobe certified in Premiere Pro CC2022 and you will always possess this accreditation.
However, as time moves onwards, Adobe will release more recent versions (e.g. CC 2023, CC2024 etc).
Therefore to remain 'current' then you will need to ensure you have passed the very latest version of the Adobe certified professional exam.
How do I obtain the Adobe Creative Cloud software?
You can either subscribe to the entire suite (that’s all the applications) or just one application on a monthly basis. Adobe offers a free 7-day trial for each application if you wish to try before you subscribe.
Just visit the Adobe Creative Cloud page and see what might be the best option for you.
What happens if I am unwell on the morning of my course?
This is just fine from a course perspective since you can re-arrange again (according to our course schedule) for no fee.
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 also so other delegates are not affected.
Will I be able to work to my own agenda in the training?
Our courses are scheduled and run with the same outline and objectives.
Whilst our trainers can field some ad hoc questions along the way we are unable to provide specific information on your personal project.
Is the training just 'watching' or is it interactive?
The training is interactive just like you were in the training room with the trainer.
You will download the training files and work through modular exercises with your Adobe certified instructor.
If you need assistance you can ask your trainer and they will help you work through any issues you experience.
What if I fail my Adobe certified exam?
Should you not pass the first time, you can retake the exam (up to 5 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.
Will I get a certificate for attending?
Yes - your Adobe training centre certificate of attendance will be emailed after your training course completes.
What do I receive after my course completes?

This Illustrator 5 day Adobe certification course was exactly what I was looking for! I didn’t know Illustrator on the Monday morning but become Adobe certified by the Friday afternoon. Amazing!

They got me through the certification exam on my first try
Emma Jenkins. 5th August, 2023
I decided to split attendance into a 2-day Illustrator introduction one month and then the 3-day advanced + certification part the month after. It really worked for me and I was extremely pleased with everything! Thanks
Shawn Trebor. 20th July, 2023

Adam Walker. 5th June, 2023
