SnakeArtworX Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hi everyone,I'm also highly interested in official Affinity certification program (especially for Affinity Photo), so I'd also like to know when it will launch. ra.skill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fahad Javed Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 After using Affinity Designer for painting as well as vector graphics creation,i am hooked. I think i am going to enjoy this program for years to come and i wish the team at Affinity all the success for listening to the community and delivering the new features in your updates. I am also interested in Affinity product certification exams like Affinity Designer,Affinity Photo and do keep us updated when ever the certification exams are launched. Keep up the good work.

syun Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 There needs to be an Affinity Photo certification. Adobe is fleecing secondary and post-secondary institutions. Adobe is fleecing the entire industry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ra.skill Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I'm curious to know if any university or education institute is using the Affinity suite?? I teach Ai and iD at a University in Taiwan, have been using the software for last 20 years but I'm truly fed up with Adobe's subscription system. I'm would switch my classes to the Affinity suite in a heartbeat but not sure the University will agree to the change with Adobe being industry standard. I guess I'm just curious if anyone has had experience in convincing their University to switch and if they're familiar with Affinity's education plans?? Affinity should seriously consider getting into the education sector... without being crude it's the best way to lock in future customers and convert users from Adobe... in my experience once a student has learnt a software package they stick with what they known.

I completely agree with this reasoning. As a teacher to promote a certain type of software over others I need to present as much evidence as possible not only that the software is valid, but also that I have a certificated level of mastery over it. Without certifications, the judgment of administrations becomes hard to make. I too would like to teach more about affinity to my students, and official certifications would be a nice help to promote the switch.

Baredee Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I think a certification program will help compete with Adobe, and inspire students to train using the Affinity suite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabsye Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 a certification program will definitely help compete with Adobe, especially because they are very similar now in scope and depth so what Affinity is waiting for? A question since 2016.... time to fill the gap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
