Q: In which languages are course materials available?

A: For courses delivered in the Americas, EMEA, and APAC, the course materials are available in English.  For Japan, training course materials are available in Japanese.

On-Demand Training 

Q: What is on-demand training?

A: On-demand trainings are recorded instructor-led courses with practice exercises that you can use in your organization’s instance. On-demand training allows you to learn at your own pace with self-paced videos & modules.

Q: What is the difference between on-demand training vs. instructor-led training (ILT/VILT)?

A: On-demand training allows flexibility if you can’t clear your schedule for ILT/VILTs.  On-demand training gives learners the ability to train on a schedule that is convenient for you and taken at your own pace. 

Instructor-led training gives learners access to a training environment for hands-on exercises. As it’s interactive, learners can ask questions live as you go through the exercises together with the instructor.

The curriculum and content in both training methods are the same.

Q: How do I purchase on-demand training?

A: On-demand training is available through a learning subscription and cannot be purchased as an individual course. On-demand training is available as part of an All Access Learning Subscription or an On-Demand Learning Subscription. Please visit the Subscription page to learn more.

A: After you’ve added the on-demand course to your account, it can be found in your Order History and Learning Dashboard. Click the title and the video will launch.

All subscription users can also reference the “Managing Your Enrollment / Learning Dashboard Support” section for a more comprehensive FAQ, or your welcome email for a visual guide.

During Training

Q: What if I cannot access the live course I am scheduled to take, or have technical issues during a live course?

A: Contact us with any technical questions/concerns as soon as possible during or before a live training for quickest assistance.

If you are accessing your instructor’s Connect room link and it stalls at “Preparing the room,” you can self-troubleshoot using these steps:

  1. Browser: Clear your browser cache and then relaunch your browser. If that is unsuccessful, open the link in Incognito mode.

  2. Outdated Adobe Connect App: ADLS trainings use Adobe Connect 11, which is the latest version. If you downloaded any previous versions, please uninstall those versions. The old versions used Flash Player, which was discontinued as of 2020. The new version that Adobe Connect has released (which is necessary for your meeting room URL link) is browser-friendly, but it will crash if the old app is still installed.

  3. Launching through the updated Adobe Connect App (optional): The app is not required, as the meeting link is browser-friendly. However, if you’ve uninstalled the previous Adobe Connect app and would like to install Adobe Connect 11 to open the URL link through the app, use these download instructions.
Q: What if I fall behind during class? Is there support?

A: The live instructor-led training is interactive, so please feel free to let the instructor know during class if you have questions or need more clarification during a topic as it is being covered. 

Q: I have meetings during the day. Can I hop in and out of class?

A: To get the most value out of your learning experience and keep up with the content, please plan on attending the training in full, without interruption. After the start of a class, no refunds will be issued for conflicting time commitments.

Q: Are the live instructor-led trainings recorded?

A: No, Adobe prohibits any recording of the live instructor-led trainings. However, if you have an All Access Learning Subscription or On-Demand Learning Subscription, you can access the on-demand course library.

Q: Is there a test to receive the course accreditation?

A: No, Adobe Digital Learning Services courses are training only and do not come with a test for accreditation at the end of a class. However, you will get a “certificate of completion” for attending and completing the course.

Q: I’m having issues playing an on-demand video (it won’t load, player is stuck, a module is missing, etc.) What do I do?

A: Ensure that you’ve logged into your On-Demand Learning Subscription with your Adobe ID to access the videos. If you’ve tried clearing your browser cache with no success, please contact us with a screenshot, on-demand course title, and description of your issue.
