Aim for the top: Boost your career with Adobe credentials
Your guide to Adobe credentials and why they’re a must-have for partners
Introduction
Adobe partners are experts in designing and building solutions and integrations capable of solving the biggest customer challenges, but customers can’t just take our word for it. That’s why we’ve created a range of credentials that provide verifiable evidence of your company’s Adobe expertise.
The value of Adobe credentials
Adobe credentials can open all sorts of doors. Every certification or accreditation you earn helps your company catch the eye of new clients while also advancing your career, increasing your earning potential, and proving your Adobe expertise.
As you and your colleagues accrue and maintain these credentials, your company can leverage them to advance the overall Adobe partnership. Credentials count toward maintaining Gold and Platinum membership levels, acquiring product specializations, and critically, they influence the sort order and ranking of results when Adobe customers or sellers search the Partner Directory.

Types of learning and credentials
Through the Partner Experience Hub (PxHub), Adobe’s partner program promotes six types of learning to meet each learner’s needs and constraints. These include:
- On-demand training courses
- Live webinars and events
- Past event recordings
- Application certification
- Sales Excellence accreditation
- Technical Excellence integration accreditation
Of these learning types, the final three are broadly referred to as “credentials” because they culminate in an exam and an achievement badge.
- Application certifications demonstrate a learner’s expertise with a given Adobe product. Certification courses include a combination of self-paced modules, on-the-job experience, and conclude in a fee-based proctored exam.
- Sales Excellence accreditations provide foundational product knowledge, including competitive advantages and capabilities, through self-paced modules and a free, on-demand final exam.
- The Technical Excellence integration accreditation gives learners key skills and knowledge to develop technical integrations with Adobe through self-paced modules and a free, on-demand final exam.

Get started
Where to start your credential path depends on your current needs and goals.
- Are you a beginner looking to understand what an Adobe product does?
- Are you a long-time practitioner who wants to refresh your knowledge?
- Are you trying to understand product capabilities, support sales motions, or create integrations that extend Adobe applications?
- Do you need proof of your Adobe product expertise to share with colleagues and employers?
Excellence accreditations provide foundational knowledge about specific products or the process of developing a technical integration.
Product certifications require greater time investment and a live proctored fee-based exam. Most products offer three levels of certification (professional, master, and expert) so learners can advance their expertise over time.
