Adobe Photoshop Certification

[Crawn2003]

I've done a search here and online but nothing comes up directly for Photoshop Certification, etc. but....

I have a question about how/where to get Adobe Photoshop Certification at. I've been thinking of it for a few months now, not really 100% in either direction, but finally decided on it for a few reasons. One, it'll help for clients and workplaces that need more advanced level projects done. Two, I've heard that Adobe keeps your info for business so that if a business is in need of someone for Photoshop work, they can contact you. Three, it never hurts to have that you are certified on your resume' and business card.

I've looked on Adobe and I think it says it cost $150 for the exam. Is that correct? Am I looking in the right spot?

Next question is, what should I do to prepare for the exam? I'm looking for a CS3 training DVD to learn extra things that I haven't picked up over the years.

So let me sum it up: where do I go to find out about certification and where can I find a DVD/Book for training in CS3? (Mainly DVD if possible)

I would ask myself if I even need the certification. In this day and age the only reason you would need it is if someone is asking you for certification or you are trying to be a PS freelancer where many of your clients will pay you more since you are certified. It is a bit expensive if not unnecessary.

Either way... you just have to find a location near you that gives the test. In Maryland there are a few spots that give many pro app certification tests especially in Apple and Adobe software, so just look for a location near you on the web.

Now why didn't that one come up when I did a search for Adobe Certification?

Hmm, makes me wonder though. I guess I should just get a training DVD/Book and go with that!
