Adobe began their certification program in 1997 to make the clear distinction between qualified instructors and someone offering courses. To earn the status, the instructor must pass at least one rigorous Adobe product exam within 30 days of its release. In addition, the instructor must obtain a certified instructor qualification (the CompTIA CTT+ exams, to demonstrate expertise in communicating technical information along with classroom management skills). An Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) is a person who has demonstrated a professional level in proficiency with one or more Adobe software products. An Adobe Certified Instructor is an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) who has taken his or her skills to the next level and provides instruction on Adobe products.
