About Certitec


CERTITEC is a leading Adobe Authorised Training Centre provider for Adobe Acrobat, The Adobe Creative Suite and PDF Workflows.
We were officially established in 2001 but have been training many of these products since 1986. We work with a wide range of clients ranging from blue-chip corporates and public sector bodies through to advertising agencies and small businesses.
We demonstrate our training at many events throughout the UK, Europe and the United States.
Our experience is unique - actually working closely with companies such as Adobe, it's no coincidence we are often their first choice for delivery of projects and presentations.
Our training is expertly delivered and available on either tailor-made or a scheduled basis.
