Adobe Experience Manager Assets Learning Cohort

Join a five-week guided learning experience designed to help you learn the essentials of AEM Assets effectively. You will learn how to organize and manage assets, control access, customize metadata, optimize search, and manage workflows. You’ll also learn how to distribute assets using Dynamic Media, Brand Portal, and Content Hub.

The program includes live sessions, self-study, hands-on activities, peer collaboration, thought leadership sessions, and a capstone project that prepares you to confidently organize, govern, and distribute digital assets as a Digital Librarian or Digital Asset Management (DAM) Power User.

This cohort provides distinct learning paths tailored to multiple roles within digital asset management:

Digital Librarians / Business Users: Individuals who manage asset organization, apply metadata standards, ensure governance, and maintain clean, searchable asset libraries in AEM Assets.
DAM Power Users: Individuals who work across teams to configure metadata, optimize asset workflows, manage lifecycle tasks, support distribution needs, and enable efficient use of AEM Assets across the organization.
