Hi all...

I have and use Adobe CC and would like to know about the certification offerings I could acquire to further my knowledge and career.  What existing certifications, exams and certification levels are available for Adobe CC applications in the interest of a Web Designer/Developer?

Any information would be greatly appreciated; especially any information/guidance on training books, classes etc..  Two apps I know I would like to get to know better are Dreamweaver CC & Photoshop CC.

Thanks in advance!

When I studied for the Illustrator exam, I found the product manual to be the best training source, but that was 17 years ago.

Certification would be useful if you are going to teach the product, but I did not find it to mean anything to potential clients and employers. They are more interested in your portfolio.

As Rob says, ACE Exams are relevant if you plan to teach and/or write books about the software. 

It won't get you hired as a web designer.  Honestly, no client has ever asked me which software I use.
