Does anyone know what Adobe certification exam is like? I'm interested in trying to get certified in After Effects and Photoshop. I've got the CS3 classrooom in a book titles by Adobe press, but I'm not sure if thats all I'll need.
Any reason you need it? I got certified for some instruction that I do on occasion. Otherwise, it's just a logo that you can throw on your resume. And even for that, you must renew at every upgrade to keep it current.
But, I will say that the exam is very, very thorough. You must know AE backwards and forwards, inside and out.
I'll echo what Harry and Arson have already said. I've hired a lot of motion designers over the years and certification was never a requirement. I understand if it's something that you want to do for yourself. Just don't have an expectation that it puts you ahead of the competition, because it doesn't.
