Exam Preparation Guide: Campaign Classic - Certified Expert and Master Renewal AD5-E823

Introduction

The Adobe Campaign Classic Renewal exam guide for Certified Expert and Master provides current Campaign Classic Developers, Business Practitioners and Architects with information they need to prepare for the renewal exam.

Adobe certifications expire after two years. To stay current, the Adobe Credential Program offers renewal exams—shorter tests that focus on the newest solution capabilities as well as the things you already know. Renewal exams are meant only for those who have an existing credential that is about to expire—you can’t take a renewal exam if you don’t have the original certification.

IMPORTANT: You will only need to pass this one exam in order to renew all of your expert and master level Campaign Classic certifications.

Adobe certification exams are developed with the participation of subject matter experts worldwide, following industry standards in developing fair and valid tests. Visit our FAQ page for more information.

Intended Audience

This exam is designed for individuals who are currently certified and performing or have previous work experience with the job responsibilities of a Campaign Classic Developer, Business Practitioner or Architect.

Aside from their current Campaign certifications, the candidate has continued their work experience in implementing Campaign and keeps up to date with changes in Campaign and the Adobe Experience Cloud solutions in the areas of installation and system configuration, customization, data architecture, and campaign, workflow, delivery, and reporting.

A combination of training and successful on-the-job experience are critical to providing you with the repository needed to pass the exam.
