Anyone taken an Adobe certification exam?
Thought the learning would be a good way to keep up skills.
Came across this and realised how much I didn't
know:

For the first time ever, i heard someone telling me about a position that required adobe certification. Do you think jobs like these are more churn 'n burn, 'art worker' type positions?

prob. right MrDinky ...
but I was thinking Flash certification would be good - just to test myself and and brush up on the things I don't know. (which would be a lot)yeah ... work is slow :(

Having a cert doesnt really prove anything.
So many designers / developers who has a degree can not do the basic.
- just a different way of learning - thats all I was thinkingalicetheblue

i had a look into the flash certification time ago.
I think i have a quite good knowledge ofit but learned pretty much on my own and the questions in that quiz were about what was written on flash manual. Even the programming ones.
So, essentially, worthelss certification.- If you want a flash "certification" do experiment with different things (rss readers, image slideshows, videoplayers etc etc)Autokern

I'm certified in CPR and to use a defibrillator, it doesn't make me a Dr.

a client asking for certifications usually:
1. think that they have the ideas, your job is to just do them fast and make everything work
2. think they've been burned in the past by somebody who can talk but not make stuff on time that works

Years ago, some developer gigs asked for Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer or "MSCE" certification... but we all called it
MCSE = Memorized Complete Syntax Encylopedia

lol. "You have been trained to click a mouse and know where everything is"
You got to be kidding! ... there is no "art" involvement rather automized work.

it's more money in Adobe's pocketbook, that's what it is.

Also, Adobe may be doing this so that creatives have to devote more brain RAM to Adobe stuff, including knowing random shit nobody uses, but may on the tests... and thus decreasing the time people have to learn competitor's toolsets , and/or do things a totally different way...
