Checking Adobe Certification Status

by Matt Sullivan on May 25, 2011

Background (Whining)

Sometimes the easiest things can take a great deal of your day…

Recently I wanted to recertify for an Adobe ACE (and my Adobe Certified Instructor that goes with it) for Adobe Illustrator CS5.

To do that, I need to be certified in the previous version.

Here’s where the fun begins…I know there’s a link to publish credentials to a prospective client or employer, I just can’t remember how to find it.

Simple, right? Well, my initial phone call to the Adobe Certified Community went to voicemail, so I promptly emailed them and found that their email address has changed. It was partners@adobe.com and is now trainingpartners@adobe.com. (To be fair, I’m sure I got an email notifying me of this!)

My question asking about publishing my ACE credentials got a response about applying to the program. No problem; I clarified via email with more detail. This time I got a response asking if I was looking for the partner finder.

Publishing Credentials

If you are currently an ACE or ACI, there is a community page at
http://www.adobe.com/support/certification/community.html

Once you sign in (there’s a link in the upper right corner of the page) you should be presented with an Adobe Certified Expert Community link on the right side of the page. (you may need to reload the link above after logging in)

Click on Check your certification status on the left side, then find the Publish Credentials link on the left side of the resulting page.

To finish up, deselect any certifications you do not wish to send, fill in the email and a brief message to your recipient, and go grab your beverage of choice!

Blogging using a weblog desktop client

March 26, 2011

As much as I enjoy posting on blogs and forums (I imagine that there is a plural form of forum, but I was never very good at Latin) I find that the editing process can be tedious! For starters, the browser interface for WordPress-hosted blogs is slower than I’d like, and the HTML editor is [...]
