KUALA LUMPUR, 20 Feb 2020 – Four individuals, including a HALUAN staff member, and three volunteers were amongst 30 successful participants of the “Intensive Certification Course 2020: Adobe Certified Associate (ACA) Illustrator CC Workshop” held from the 17th to 19th of February here.

The three-day workshop was organised by Acestar Sdn Bhd (sole platinum distributor of Adobe in Malaysia) and supported by Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC). The four individuals who took part were the creative director of HALUAN, Mr. Muhammad Zakiran Mahmud; multimedia lecturer at Kolej Teknologi Darulnaim Kuala Lumpur (KTDKL), Mrs. Syarifah Nabihah Syed Mohd Khair; designer at PS Food and Beverage Sdn Bhd, Mr. Muhammad Thaqif Abd Latif; and operation & administration officer at Yayasan MATRI, Mr. Mu’az Othman.

The Adobe certification is an industry standard of excellence and proficiency in leading products from Adobe.
