Illustrator CS6 re-certification – and more to come

Posted by:

I’m pleased to announce my recent re-certification to the latest version of Adobe Illustrator – CS6. For good quality training it’s important that the instructor you use has official Adobe Certified Instructor status (ACI) on the appropriate version. Any ACI can send you official confirmation of his or her status through the Adobe credentials verification system.

Having said that, while the CS6 suite of products has been available for some months, re-certification is not yet available for instructors on all products. ...

Photoshop CS6 Certification – and more…

Posted by:

No excuse: It’s been far to long since I last posted…

Some important, and reasonably recent news, since I last posted is that I have been recertified as a Photoshop CS6 Adobe Certified Instructor (ACI). While the CS6 suite has been out a little while now, Adobe don’t publish their recertification examinations until some time after the product launch – hence the delay in official certification. In fact, recertification for Illustrator and After Effects CS6 is still not available – although ...
