Overview: Types of Training
PUBLIC TRAINING (ILT AND VILT)
Q: WHAT IS PUBLIC TRAINING?
A: Adobe Digital Learning Services (ADLS) provides learners with a wide variety
of courses on how to be successful with Adobe Experience Cloud (DX) Solutions.
Public training is open to any learner, and individual seats can be purchased
via the ADLS website. We offer live virtual instructor-led training in time
zones that span the globe. Please visit the course catalog to see course titles
offered, detailed course descriptions, and course schedules.
Q: What is ILT and VILT?
A: Instructor-led training (ILT) are live training sessions taught in-person in
physical classrooms and virtual instructor-led training (VILT) courses are live
sessions taught online in a virtual classroom setting.
Q: DO I HAVE TO BE AN ADOBE CUSTOMER TO TAKE ADOBE DX TRAINING COURSES?
A: Anyone can take Adobe DX training courses. All public training courses can be
purchased from our website using a credit card. Adobe customers can purchase
via a credit card, subscription, or purchase order (pre-paid Bank of Funds). See
Purchasing section for more details.
Q: WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF TAKING COURSES WITH ADLS?
A: ADLS courses are built working directly with Adobe’s product developers.
When you train with Adobe, your course is led by one of our expert instructors
providing a highly interactive learning experience with hands-on product
exercises. Each course provides course slides, activity guides, and a course
completion certificate.
Q: HOW CAN I LEARN WHICH COURSE IS RIGHT FOR ME? WHERE SHOULD I START?
A: Based on your job role or which Adobe solutions you own, we have recommended
Learning Paths to get you started on your learning journey, or you can contact
us to design a learning path that's just right for you or your team.
Q: HOW CAN I ENROLL IN A VILT OR ILT PUBLIC CLASS?
A: Course schedules for every ADLS course are available on our website. You can
enroll in a course by following the steps below.
1. Navigate to our course catalog to find your course.
2. Using the filters on the left side of the webpage you can narrow your
search:
Begin by choosing your LEARNING TYPE
ILT classes: filter to Regional to see if there is a classroom location
available near you.
VILT classes: filter to Virtual Public, and choose your course based on date
and time zone.
This will yield the currently scheduled classes being offered.
3. You can also filter by Solution, Products, Roles, Region, Language, and Date
to narrow your search.
4. Click on the course title you’re interested in. This will lead to the
Course Details page. (Be sure to check out the details thoroughly by
downloading the “Course Details” document on the left bar, to ensure these
topics and any prerequisites fit your training needs).
5. Scroll down to Register for a Session.
6. Select your Region in the dropdown menu.
7. Select the date you’d like to attend, and click on Register to proceed with
enrollment.
Q: HOW DO I CANCEL MY ENROLLMENT IN A CLASS?
A: Enrolled learners in ADLS instructor-led classes can cancel class
registrations through the Order History page by clicking on the “Drop” button
associated with the class. Cancellations must be completed at least 7 days in
advance before the scheduled class starts. Cancellations beyond the 7 day window
may be considered by contacting us with your order details (class ID, course
title, course dates, full name, and email address you enrolled under) and reason
for cancellation.
Visit the Adobe Digital Learning Services Terms & Conditions page for more
information on class rescheduling, cancellation, and No-Show policies.
Q: HOW DO I RESCHEDULE MY ENROLLMENT IN A CLASS?
A: To reschedule to a different course or class date, cancel your class
registration through the Order History page by clicking on the “Drop” button
associated with the class. Then you can return to the learning website to enroll
in another course/class date of your choice. Cancellations and reschedules must
be completed at least 7 days in advance before the scheduled class starts.
Alternatively, you can contact us with your original order details (class ID,
course title, course dates, full name and email address you enrolled under, and
new course or course dates you’d like to be rescheduled into). Reschedules must
be requested at least 7 days in advance before the scheduled class starts.
Visit the Adobe Digital Learning Services Terms & Conditions page for more
information on class rescheduling, cancellation, and No-Show policies.
Q: WHAT IS PROVIDED WHEN ATTENDING AN INSTRUCTOR-LED COURSE?
A: Every ADLS course provides access to a training environment for hands-on
practice for the duration of the course. On the first day of class, a course
manual and activity guide will be shared. If attending a virtual training
course, check out the System Requirements to ensure you’re ready to attend
training before the course starts.
Q: IN WHICH LANGUAGES ARE COURSE MATERIALS AVAILABLE?
A: For courses delivered in the Americas, EMEA, and APAC, the course materials
are available in English. For Japan, training course materials are available in
Japanese.
Q: WHAT IF THE STANDARD PUBLIC VILT/ILT COURSE AGENDA DOESN’T FIT MY COMPANY’S
REQUIREMENTS?
A: Please fill out this form to contact us, and our Sales team will reach out to
you to understand your requirements and tailor a course for your specific needs.
Q: DOES ADOBE OFFER ANY FREE TRAINING IN DIGITAL EXPERIENCE CLOUD SOLUTIONS?
A: Experience League is available to anyone to access free Adobe training,
product documentation, and community forums. You can access Experience League
at https://experienceleague.adobe.com/.
Q: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRAINING AVAILABLE ON EXPERIENCE LEAGUE AND
ADLS COURSES?
A: Experience League provides short video tutorials on a wide range of subjects
designed to help experienced users get just-in-time training right when they
need it, and get help from other community members. ADLS provides comprehensive,
accelerated hands-on learning using live Adobe training instances led by
instructors who are experts in Adobe products and use cases.
Q: IF I GO THROUGH THE FREE TRAINING ON EXPERIENCE LEAGUE, WILL IT TRACK ON MY
LEARNING ACCOUNT WITH ADOBE DIGITAL LEARNING SERVICES?

whereas enrollment and completion history in our ADLS courses are fully tracked
in your Learning account.

delivered onsite (at your company site), or virtually for your organization.

details.
ON-DEMAND TRAINING
Q: WHAT IS ON-DEMAND TRAINING?
A: On-demand trainings are recorded instructor-led courses with practice
exercises that you can use in your organization’s instance. On-demand training
allows you to learn at your own pace with self-paced videos & modules.
Q: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ON-DEMAND TRAINING VS. INSTRUCTOR-LED TRAINING
(ILT/VILT)?
A: On-demand training allows flexibility if you can’t clear your schedule for
ILT/VILTs. On-demand training gives learners the ability to train on a schedule
that is convenient for you and taken at your own pace.
Instructor-led training gives learners access to a training environment for
hands-on exercises. As it’s interactive, learners can ask questions live as you
go through the exercises together with the instructor.
The curriculum and content in both training methods are the same.
Q: HOW DO I PURCHASE ON-DEMAND TRAINING?
A: On-demand training is available through a learning subscription and cannot be
purchased as an individual course. On-demand training is available as part of an
All Access Learning Subscription or an On-Demand Learning Subscription. Please
visit the Subscription page to learn more.

DURING TRAINING
Q: WHAT IF I CANNOT ACCESS THE LIVE COURSE I AM SCHEDULED TO TAKE, OR HAVE
TECHNICAL ISSUES DURING A LIVE COURSE?
A: Contact us with any technical questions/concerns as soon as possible during
or before a live training for quickest assistance.
If you are accessing your instructor’s Connect room link and it stalls at
“Preparing the room,” you can self-troubleshoot using these steps:
1. Browser: Clear your browser cache and then relaunch your browser. If that is
unsuccessful, open the link in Incognito mode.
2. Outdated Adobe Connect App: ADLS trainings use Adobe Connect 11, which is
the latest version. If you downloaded any previous versions, please
uninstall those versions. The old versions used Flash Player, which was
discontinued as of 2020. The new version that Adobe Connect has released
(which is necessary for your meeting room URL link) is browser-friendly, but
it will crash if the old app is still installed.
3. Launching through the updated Adobe Connect App (optional): The app is not
required, as the meeting link is browser-friendly. However, if you’ve
uninstalled the previous Adobe Connect app and would like to install Adobe
Connect 11 to open the URL link through the app, use these download
instructions.
Q: WHAT IF I FALL BEHIND DURING CLASS? IS THERE SUPPORT?
A: The live instructor-led training is interactive, so please feel free to let
the instructor know during class if you have questions or need more
clarification during a topic as it is being covered.
Q: I HAVE MEETINGS DURING THE DAY. CAN I HOP IN AND OUT OF CLASS?
A: To get the most value out of your learning experience and keep up with the
content, please plan on attending the training in full, without interruption.
After the start of a class, no refunds will be issued for conflicting time
commitments.
Q: ARE THE LIVE INSTRUCTOR-LED TRAININGS RECORDED?
A: No, Adobe prohibits any recording of the live instructor-led trainings.
However, if you have an All Access Learning Subscription or On-Demand Learning
Subscription, you can access the on-demand course library.
Q: IS THERE A TEST TO RECEIVE THE COURSE ACCREDITATION?
A: No, Adobe Digital Learning Services courses are training only and do not come
with a test for accreditation at the end of a class. However, you will get a
“certificate of completion” for attending and completing the course.
Q: I’M HAVING ISSUES PLAYING AN ON-DEMAND VIDEO (IT WON’T LOAD, PLAYER IS STUCK,
A MODULE IS MISSING, ETC.) WHAT DO I DO?
A: Ensure that you’ve logged into your On-Demand Learning Subscription with your
Adobe ID to access the videos. If you’ve tried clearing your browser cache with
no success, please contact us with a screenshot, on-demand course title, and
description of your issue.

Scaled score
Q: HOW DOES ADOBE DETERMINE THE PASSING SCORE FOR AN EXAM?
A: Adobe determines the passing score for each exam through a well-established
industry process. This process involves subject matter experts defining the
minimum competence levels required to pass the exam and rating the difficulty
level of all exam questions. Adobe uses this subject matter expert feedback and
the data from their rating to determine the passing score for each exam.
Beginning in January 2020, Adobe exams will display the percentage score
achieved by candidates. The passing percentage and scaled scoring of each exam
is listed in the exam guides under exam information.
Q: WHAT IS A SCALED SCORE?
A: A scaled score is a sequence of standardized numbers to which all possible
raw scores for an exam are mapped. Adobe uses a scale (that is, a sequence of
numbers) from 300 to 700 when reporting your exam score. The raw passing score
for each Adobe exam is mapped to the scaled score of 550. Therefore, the passing
scaled score for all Adobe exams is 550. All other possible raw scores, from
zero to the total number of questions on an exam, are mapped to whole numbers
between 300 and 700 on the scale.
Q: HOW IS MY TEST SCORE DETERMINED?
A: Your test score is determined by taking the total number of questions
answered correctly (called your raw score) and dividing that number by the total
number of scored questions.
Q: WHAT IS THE PASSING SCORE FOR ADOBE EXAMS?
A: Every exam has a different passing score. View the exam guide to learn the
passing score for the exam you want to take.
Q: WHY ARE MY PAST EXAM RECORDS DISPLAYING A DIFFERENT SCORE?
A: Prior to 2020, Adobe used the scaled score format; a sequence of gradated
numbers to which all possible raw scores are mapped. Adobe used a scale of 300
to 700, and mapped an exam's passing score to the 550 mark. In 2020, Adobe
started reporting the exam's actual percentage score and stopped using the
scaled score format.
ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD AND CREATIVE SUITE CERTIFICATION
General Questions
Q: WHY ARE CERTIFICATIONS OFFERED IN BOTH CREATIVE CLOUD AND CREATIVE SUITE?
A: When you purchased a version of a Creative Suite product you were able to use
that version indefinitely, so the certification remained valid indefinitely as
well. When you certify on a perpetual product you continue to be an expert on
that version, but as features are added and changed you will, over time, be
using a different product. To ensure that all our ACEs have a level playing
field, only those who are able to show they have the most current knowledge are
able to represent themselves as ACEs of the most recent product/exams.
Q: WHAT ABOUT MY CERTIFICATION THAT ISN’T FOR CREATIVE CLOUD OR CREATIVE SUITE?
A: Currently there are no changes to our other exams/certifications in the ACE
program.
Q: WHAT IF I HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS?
A: For certification-related questions, contact certif@adobe.com. For questions
about Creative Cloud, visit FAQ.
Creative Cloud
Q: WHAT DOES THE RELEASE OF CREATIVE CLOUD MEAN TO THE ACE PROGRAM?
A: The process of registering and taking exams and becoming certified does not
change with the release of Creative Cloud.
Q: DO I HAVE TO RECERTIFY EVERY TIME MY CREATIVE CLOUD PRODUCT IS UPDATED?
A: No. Creative Cloud products are updated regularly, but not all changes will
impact the skills that make someone an ACE. You will need to recertify after
your ACE certificate expires to continue to represent yourself as a current
Creative Cloud ACE.
Q: FOR HOW LONG WILL MY CREATIVE CLOUD CERTIFICATIONS BE VALID?
A: Your ACE certification for Creative Cloud products will be valid for two
years after the date you certify.
Q: WILL THE BETA EXAMS COUNT AS MY CC CERTIFICATION?
A: Yes. If you participate in our exam beta process, and receive a passing score
for a live exam based on your answers to questions from a product beta, that
passing score will apply toward your Creative Cloud certification. If you are
interested in participating in upcoming betas, follow us on Facebook and Twitter
for recruitment updates.
Creative Suite
Q: I AM CURRENTLY CERTIFIED IN CREATIVE SUITE PRODUCTS. HOW LONG WILL THOSE
CERTIFICATIONS BE VALID?
A: Your existing Creative Suite certifications will always be valid; however,
they will be valid only for the product version on which you were certified.
Q: HOW LONG WILL THE CS6 EXAMS BE AVAILABLE?
A: The CS6 exams will continue to be available for as long as Adobe continues to
sell and provide product support for CS6.
