I want to know what should I do to get an accreditation as an After Effects certified instructor / certified expert?

You need to read the manual, and possibly the Classroom in a Book. Then you go to the above page, find their study aids, then find a place near you that will test you in person.
By the way, the ACE is not a big deal in my opinion, unless you want training or educational work, or to just be an AE jockey. Your reel is better promotional material to be a motion graphics artist.
(Having said that, I’d better upgrade or drop my ACE … ACE 5.5 looks kinda lame)

The only place that ever told me I needed ACE certification was a training company, and they were paying less per day than if I were actually animating – which is a joke.
Being an ACE doesn’t mean you are a good animator, it means you know the tools, and because of that, there are plenty of ACE’s I’d never hire. Just because I know what wrench does, or even how to use it, doesn’t make me a good mechanic.
Don’t get me wrong – a solid reel and being an ACE is a good thing, but the ACE certification is not even close to my highest priority when looking for talented people.
