Visual Communications Students Earn Adobe Certifications

April 2, 2024

The Delaware Tech visual communications program celebrated its students who earned Adobe Certified Associate (ACA) certifications during 2023 by awarding Adobe Certification Celebration packets. The packets, developed by program faculty, were based on a tier system, with more certifications and higher scores resulting in a larger packet.

Overall, 78 students earned 124 certificates in the Creative Cloud applications of Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro. Four students obtained certifications in all four applications, 12 students obtained certifications in three applications, and 10 students earned two certifications.

Students recognized for receiving the highest certification exam score in each specific Adobe program were Matthew Young (InDesign), Tayshaun Schmidt (Premiere Pro), Maggie Barrett (Photoshop), and Magdalena Jeffrey (Illustrator).

"Earning these certifications shows that our students are proficient in Creative Cloud software, and because they have become Adobe certified they are starting to show that they are amongst the rising stars of our industry,” said Patti Bishop, visual communications department chair. “The skills set they are developing gives them the opportunity to create some amazing things. Creativity matched with technology is a catalyst for success.”
