We are replacing the CIW Associate Design Specialist (ADS) certification with the CIW Site Development Associate (SDA) certification and the more advanced CIW Web Design Specialist. These new certification options provide you with several benefits: • The Web design job market expects individuals to demonstrate the learning paths they took to obtain professional Web knowledge. We have therefore changed our certification map to reflect your learning path more completely. • Instead of receiving one certification, you now receive two certifications to demonstrate your level of expertise. • You will now be better prepared to earn additional certifications, such as the CIW E-Commerce Specialist and CIW Web Design Professional certifications.
