XD Certification and Tutorial Questions

Hi XD Community,

 

I've been an Adobe User on Windows for a number of years and looking to certify now that Adobe has certification site on Adobe.com. I wanted to do Certiport but they don't never allowed testing remotely during COVID for the latest Adobe tests. 

 

Here are my questions:

 

1. The Adobe XD exam is it on Windows or Mac? 

2. I was a Mac User briefly but my company is pure Windows. Will these tutorials ever be done on Windows? I want my users to get skills faster and I think the XD community here, https://letsxd.com, needs examples on Windows to meet people where they are at. I'm not wasting their time having them learn two operating systems if they don't have to. Just a thought for consideration. 

 

Thanks.

    Just to close this out. I passed the exam this weekend with a live proctor from examity. I couldn't get the self-service/on-demand to work. Each month from January, it kept eating my voucher with no test. If you take this test, call examity and ask for a live proctor.

     

    If your in the US, call this number (855-392-6489). They are avaible 24x7.

     

    I know we can't talk about the test, I used the Adobe XD 2020 book / Brian Wood and it was enough. I viewed the stuff they listed on the exam page but I don't think it was valuable. Just read the book and print out the shortcut keys and memorize them. https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/help/keyboard-shortcuts.html


    They listed both mac and windows keys on the test.

    Hi there! Thanks for looking into certification for XD.

     

    This is the only certification course we have inside of XD; Certiport looks like it's an external certification site. https://learning.adobe.com/certification.html?solution=Adobe%20Creative%20Cloud

     

    I unfortunately don't have a ton of details for you as to whether the certification is on Mac or Windows: https://spark.adobe.com/page/SzpqBOPGiVxlH/

     

    Please note that the Mac and Windows versions are identical in on-canvas utility, with some additional affordances in the context menu in order to account for the difference in the top menu. Hope that helps!

    I'll find out the details shortly and post back. Thanks for your comments.

    I test at the end of the month.

    I tried to test today and I paid and then test failed to connect. I have to wait for a week now for slow people at Adobe to read and process my reschedule/refund. Examity couldn't do anything because my adobe credential manager account was locked. 

     

    What's really sad was that I was going to take the test next friday but felt I could do it today and move on to other things but now it's probably going to be next week with drama...
