I’ve been an eLearning designer and developer since 2005, specializing in the creation of interactive and engaging learning experiences. In 2015, I launched my own eLearning design business and began producing Adobe Captivate video tutorials on my YouTube channel, CaptivateTeacher, to support clients and fellow developers. This content not only helped me grow my business globally—it also introduced me to a wider community of aspiring Captivate users who now turn to me for training and mentorship. Today, I provide both online and onsite Adobe Captivate training, empowering others to build effective eLearning with confidence. I’m proud to be part of the Adobe eLearning Community, sharing knowledge, collaborating with other developers, and contributing to the growth of this platform.

I don’t know if anyone besides me noticed but the Adobe Captivate Specialist Certification is now called the Adobe Captivate Professional Certification. I’m curious if people think that has more or less meaning than it had before.

For those who are familiar with the certification, I’m sure it won’t make any difference. For others looking at the cert on a profile (prospective employers), I can see that “professional” might carry a bit more general weight, whereas “specialist” might make them wonder how relevant that particular “specialty” is to their needs.

What is in a name? It is really an overview  training for newbies. Semantically professional is less confusing than ‘specialist’ but what is the meaning of ‘professional’?  Just marketing stuff…  The only way to become a real professional is by developing, solving problems etc…
