Adobe for Staff

Use the summer to build your skills with AEI on demand.

If you missed this year's Adobe Education Institute, the good news is that every session is available on demand. Whether you're new to Adobe Express or ready to go deeper with Acrobat and AI, there's a learning path to fit your summer schedule.

Earn a digital badge for every session you complete, and work towards the prestigious AEI Influencer Badge by completing at least six sessions and submitting a portfolio of work.
