Adobe Certification | Adobe Certified Expert (ACE)

As a busy software development manager, how do you really know that candidates actually have the software development skills and knowledge listed on their resumes? The best way to find out is to look for the Adobe Certification. Adobe has established several levels of proficiency as part of their certification program. An Adobe Certification is a great way to validate your developers’ skills and knowledge in software, while increasing their confidence and performance on projects; resulting in higher customer satisfaction. Each Flex developer who does pass the certification exam distinguishes themselves in the marketplace as an Adobe certified expert who’s skills are at least at the level the manufacturer considers proficient and possesses a verifiable amount of expertise in the tool. As an Authorized Adobe Training Center, On3 provides the official Adobe certification training to help you prepare to be an Adobe Certified expert.
