General

Yes. You can conduct courses without AATC and ACI titles, badges, and certificates. For guidelines about referring to Adobe and Adobe products and services in your course descriptions moving forward, please refer to our general copyright and trademark guidelines on Adobe.com: https://www.adobe.com/legal/permissions.html.

For Adobe Certified Instructors (ACIs)

No. There are no training requirements to take an Adobe Certified Professional exam. We recommend that certification candidates have 150 hours of experience using Adobe Creative Cloud applications prior to taking an exam, but you can choose any method of training or practice that enables you to master the applications.

You should activate your free subscriptions as soon as you receive the codes. The subscriptions will be added to any existing subscriptions you may have. Please redeem both codes at the same time to get two continuous years of access to Creative Cloud. The codes expire six months after they were created (August 2023), and expired codes will not be replaced.
