They are made up of 36 random questions on the chosen subject and users have half an hour to complete them. The questions are put together by Highlander's Adobe Certified Instructors and are designed to test users' knowledge of the specific Adobe product, as well as best practice for using the product.

In the eighteen months since they were launched, over 1,700 people have signed up and taken the skills tests, out of which an elite core of just thirteen users have scored the maximum 100%.

These tests are the only Adobe-related skills tests that are available for free, and they are especially popular with delegates preparing to take the Adobe Certified Expert exams and wanting to test their readiness.

Upon completion of the tests, delegates can download a secure PDF certificate, which can then be used to verify their score or can be included alongside a resume when applying for roles. Another use for the tests is by employers when testing a potential candidate's ability.

Andy Gardiner, Managing Director of Highlander commented, "The days when you 'send somebody on a course because it's been a while since they did one' are long gone. These days, it's important that skills can be professionally assessed and subsequent training can be shown to have an impact. By offering the free skills tests and mapping our Bootcamp courses to Adobe's professional ACE certification program, we are unique in being able to demonstrate improved performance for Adobe product users in the UK."
