Manchester Fashion Institute: Adobe Certification Scheme

Catherine Elkin Experiential Learning Tutor

A fully-funded opportunity (worth up to £600) to gain external certification from Adobe to evidence competency in Video and Design apps. Whatever your starting point, sharpen your skills and evidence self-development with a completely flexible process.

To gain your certification, follow the steps below.

1. Make Sure You’ve Got the Software

In order to complete this certification, you will need access to Adobe Creative Suite.

This is widely available on computers on campus. Manchester Met also offers Laptop Loans which you can learn more about here: Laptop loans (ITD) | Manchester Metropolitan University (mmu.ac.uk)

Alternatively, you can access a 30 day trial via the Adobe Website:

Adobe Creative Cloud for students and teachers | Adobe Creative Cloud (adobe-students.com).

You will sit your final exam on an MMU computer, which will already have Adobe Suite installed.
