Name Change
I've been an eLearning designer and developer since 2005. In 2015 I started my own eLearning design company. I began creating Adobe Captivate video tutorials to help promote my business through my YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/captivateteacher. My intention with my YouTube videos was to attract attention from organizations looking for a skilled Captivate developer. This strategy proved successful as I've worked with clients worldwide, helping them build highly engaging eLearning solutions. In addition, my YouTube channel presented another benefit of attracting aspiring Captivate developers to seek me out as a teacher. I now offer online and onsite training on Adobe Captivate, teaching users the skills to build engaging and interactive learning.

I don’t know if anyone besides me noticed but the Adobe Captivate Specialist Certification is now called the Adobe Captivate Professional Certification. I’m curious if people think that has more or less meaning than it had before.

For those who are familiar with the certification, I’m sure it won’t make any difference. For others looking at the cert on a profile (prospective employers), I can see that “professional” might carry a bit more general weight, whereas “specialist” might make them wonder how relevant that particular “specialty” is to their needs.

What is in a name? It is really an overview  training for newbies. Semantically professional is less confusing than ‘specialist’ but what is the meaning of ‘professional’?  Just marketing stuff…  The only way to become a real professional is by developing, solving problems etc…
