Creative Development Honors Credential
Curriculum
Flashtalking’s Creative Development Honors Designation is an even more in-depth learning experience for Creative Manager. In this Honors Credential Course, learners will receive hands on training in manually coding creative, building store locator creative, local testing, leveraging feeds and tracking, and more.
Part 1
In this course, you'll learn the practical skills needed to manually code a creative by working with manifest files, base files, richloads, custom elements, and the Flashtalking HTML5 API. You'll also learn how to test your files locally, so you can make quick changes to your code and to the creative files, so you don't have to zip them up and upload them into Creative Manager.

Part 2
In this course, you will learn how to set up a basic store locator creative and test to make sure it’s functioning correctly.

Credentials Assessment
Now that you’ve completed all the quizzes, it’s time for a hands-on assessment. This exam will require the building of a custom coded ad using HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and the Flashtalking HTML API.
