Has anybody around here been Adobe certified, is it worth it, is it hard etc?

There are lots of "certified" folks here phil. And some have nothing to do with computer software. [stuned]

I myself am not, so i can't tell you much. I took the pre-test exam on Adobe's site a long time ago and found it fairly straight forward.

I think the term "hard" is relative in this type of situation. If you're prepared, there's less chance that something will seem hard.

You mean "certifiable" Mark... that would be me! [righton]

I'm also not ACE... but I've thought about it. I can't imagine it hurts... if you can afford a $150 test every year. heh. It's not going to open the golden gates of heaven for you either though. The most important thing you can do is have a good portfolio. Anything else is just gravy.

I bought the Certification Guide for PS 6 and did the sample test from the CD.
Being a smart-ass I scored about 90%. The pass score is something like 75%.

Alas, when I enquired about sitting the ACE test PS 7 had been released and the PS 6 test was no longer available.

I'd agree with MindBender we're certifiable, who needs another bit of paper to prove it.

Seriously folks, a good portfolio is worth a lot more.

.. and I did not sit the ACE exam, after catching up on V7 they brought out CS. [upset]

Cheers Al.
