I became an Adobe Certified Associate in 2019. Do I need to retake the exam to become an Adobe Certified Professional?

If you have taken the exam in 2019, your certification lasts for two years. You do not need to retake the exam. The Adobe Certified Professional exam is the same exam as the Adobe Certified Associate exam. If you passed the Adobe Certified Associate in 2019, you will be due for a recertification in 2021.

I am an Adobe Certified Associate; I got my certification in 2020. Do I need to retake the exam to become an Adobe Certified Professional?

If you have taken the exam in 2020, you do not need to retake the exam. The Adobe Certified Professional exam is the same exam as the Adobe Certified Associate exam. If you have passed the Adobe Certified Associate in 2020, you do not need to be recertified to become an Adobe Certified Professional. In the Summer of 2021, your Adobe Certified Associate certification will automatically revert to the Adobe Certified Professional certification. But, it will take a year for this to happen, due to government mandates currently in place.
