Adobe Commerce is an eCommerce solution that gives companies the flexibility to build unique customer relationships and create digital experiences anytime, anywhere. Using Adobe Commerce, companies can easily personalize customer experiences, increase customer engagement, and create engaging shopping experiences. However, to take full advantage of the Adobe Commerce platform, having an Adobe Commerce certificate is a must.

The Adobe Commerce certificate is valid for a certain amount of time, depending on whether you are certified for a specific release version (e.g. Adobe Commerce Cloud version 21.4) or whether you are certified for life, which covers all future versions of the product.

If you have a certificate for a specific version, the certificate is valid until the next version of the software is released. Adobe Commerce releases new versions approximately every six months, so the certificate remains valid during this period. Once the next version is released, certificate holders will need to retake the exams and obtain the latest certificate to remain valid.

On the other hand, lifetime certification is valid until Adobe Commerce decides to end support for that particular product. This means that certificate holders do not have to take the exam for subsequent versions as long as they remain active in the community. Regardless of your certification, Adobe Commerce encourages you to actively participate in Adobe communities, attend conferences and webinars, and participate in the Adobe Specialized Program. This allows certificate holders to stay informed about the latest features, techniques, and news.

Generally, an Adobe Commerce certificate is valid for a specific version until the next version is released, or it may be valid for life, depending on the type of certificate you have. To keep your certification current and ensure you’re taking advantage of the latest features offered by the Adobe Commerce platform, it’s extremely important to stay active in the community.
