ACP World Championship 2026 continues to use the Adobe Certified Professional (ACP) test provided by Certiport Informatics Testing Group (USA) to assess candidates' abilities.
This is a globally recognized graphic design skill assessment standard, reflecting the ability to use tools, thinking about handling practical requirements and creativity in a professional working environment.
Right from the national qualifying round, contestants who score 700 points or higher will be eligible to receive the ACP international certificate - an important proof to help standardize professional competence, improve competitive advantages in learning and careers in the field of digital creativity.
