Follow-Up – Photoshop 2025 Update

Following up on our recent BrainBuffet update, we’ve received a few questions from teachers interested in having their students test earlier in Photoshop and whether they should have their students take the 2023 Photoshop certification exam instead. Our education team has confirmed that the current Photoshop 2025 Course aligns with the 2023 and 2024 exams  ✅
If you decide to have your students take the ACP 2023 and 2024 exams, we suggest having them complete a few extra steps first to ensure they feel fully prepared:
1️⃣ Watch the following videos from our Photoshop 2023 Course to strengthen exam readiness:
  • Project 1 – all videos
  • Topics: 2.08, 4.01, 4.02, 5.13, 7.01, 7.02, and 7.10
    These lessons reinforce a few Objective Domains covered in the 2023 and 2024 Photoshop exams that we do not cover in the 2025 Course.
2️⃣  Take the GMetrix practice test to review key concepts and build confidence before the official exam.
