Industry Certification

A Certified Professional is a user who has proven that they can use the software with the highest skill level as shown by successfully passing the certification exam. Certification allows you to distinguish yourself to colleagues, employers and prospective clients as a skilled user. Upon completing certification you will receive benefits such as being listed on the software manufacturer's web site, promoting yourself as a certified professional in résumés and digital media (such as your demo reel), and more. BAVC administers monthly online certification exams for users that are ready to take their knowledge of the software to the next level and become certified professional users. The exam questions are created by the software manufacturer and the exam is taken by logging in to the software company's exam site. BAVC provides the location and facilitates the exam, but does not generate the questions or grade the finished exam. Exam results are automatically calculated and are displayed at the completion of the exam.

I attended Photoshop I with Liz Hickok this past weekend. Her knowledge of Photoshop is impressive. So is her passion for the subject matter and her obvious enjoyment of teaching. I'm so glad I am able to attend the classes you offer!
