Great design speaks for itself. Now let it be certified.
Anyone can open the app. Few master it. Fewer can prove it. The Adobe Certified Professional in Visual Design is earned by pairing Adobe Photoshop with Illustrator or InDesign. Two exams, three credentials, and SkillUp Pro membership with your bundle. Built for graphic designers, brand designers and creative generalists.

The credential clients and recruiters can verify in one click.
The Visual Design specialty is issued by Adobe, delivered by Certiport, and verifiable through Credly. It's proof you can produce professional visual design across print and screen — not a portfolio you have to defend, but a credential anyone can check.
Share it on LinkedIn, add it to your CV and your portfolio, and let any client or employer verify it in seconds. Each Adobe certification is current for three years from the date you pass.
Two exams in. Three credentials out.
Sit the Photoshop exam and one partner exam. Both certifications are issued — then Adobe adds the Visual Design specialty automatically on top.
Five problems graduates face, and how proof of skill fixes them.
A portfolio shows what you made. A certification proves you can do it again, on any brief, for print or screen.
“Creative” isn’t a job title
Every applicant says they know Photoshop. Few can prove it.
The fix: Adobe credentials a client or employer can verify.
Interns kept off real briefs
Studios won’t hand client work to an untested trainee.
The fix: proof you can deliver to a professional standard.
Great designers, no brand work
Small businesses need someone who can build a brand and its materials without an agency.
The fix: certified design with Photoshop plus Illustrator or InDesign.
Knowing the tools, not the craft
Tutorials teach buttons, not the principles behind good design.
The fix: exam objectives that cover the full design workflow.
Local talent, invisible abroad
Remote clients need a standard they recognize.
The fix: Adobe and Certiport credentials verifiable anywhere.
Same credential. Your toolset.
Adobe Photoshop is required. Pair it with Illustrator or InDesign, whichever fits your workflow. Each stack is one bundle, two exams, three credentials — $289 USD.
What's inside every $289 stack

Buy the bundle, and you’re a SkillUp Pro member at no extra cost.
Every Visual Design bundle is a pathway bundle, and pathway bundles unlock SkillUp Pro automatically. There’s no annual fee. Once you’re a member, each additional single certification you buy that year is 25% off.
No annual fee and nothing extra to pay. Membership comes with your bundle.
A quarter off every additional single certification you buy within your membership year.
Any pathway bundle, self-paced or guided, or any Mastery Challenge. Single certifications on their own don’t unlock it.
The 25% discount applies to additional single certifications only. It doesn’t discount bundles or Mastery Challenges, and it doesn’t stack with other offers.
