Adobe Certified Professional Photoshop Preparation

The current Certiport objective set is Adobe Certified Professional in Visual Design Using Adobe Photoshop, exam version 2025 (Photoshop v26.x). Certiport describes the exam as a 50-minute assessment combining selected-response questions with live-in-the-application Photoshop tasks.

The certification tests more than button knowledge. Candidates are expected to understand design-industry concepts, project setup, document organisation, visual elements, publishing and the practical use of Photoshop. Certiport describes its target candidate as having around 150 hours of instruction and hands-on experience, so learners should combine structured training with regular practical work in Photoshop rather than relying on videos alone.
