I'm a designer student. Last year we passed the ACA exams for Photoshop CS6 and Flash CS6. This year, it was scheduled that we write the ACE exams of Photoshop CS6, InDesign CS6 and Acrobat X.
We were told by passing these two ACA exams and the three ACE exams we would recieve our Design Specialist certification. Recently my college changed the curriculum so that we do the ACA exams of Photoshop CC, InDesign CC and Acrobat XI. We were told that if we passed last year's ACA exams(PS cs6 and Flash cs6) and this year's ACA exams (Ps CC, InDesign CC and Acrobat XI) we would still receive our Design Specialist certification.
I did view the Design Specialist Overview on Adobe and it specifies that ACE InDesign and Acrobat of the current version is required as well as the ACE Photoshop (my elective choice) is necessary for the Design Specialist Certification.
I just want to know if what we are being told is true.
