Hi, does anyone know if you can take the InDesign Certification exam at home? Or does it have to be in person at one of the exam locations?

Hi @benm34505932:

 

As Steve said, the InDesign exam has been retired—the replacement exam is called Design and Layout and has a focus on InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and Creative Cloud workflows. 

 

I did take the exam from home. There are rigid requirements for home testing (so that you can't cheat) that will be clarified when you register. I took it during lockdown—when I need to recertify I will probably just go to a testing center. It took me longer to get past all the security measures than it took me to answer the exam questions.

Yes, I remember now. There was an option for home testing but the rules for doing it sounded so terrible that I chose a test center!

There is no longer an InDesign certification exam. There are these three exams for Creative Cloud:

I believe they must be taken at a test center.
