A.C.E. Testing

[Aanarav Sareen]

The test is not easy at all. You need to be aware of how to use Premiere practically as well as theoretically. However, I don’t think that the 2.0 tests are out yet, unless I am mistaken…

Well to prepare I have been using Premiere since 6.0 (now have 2.0) and gotten Very comfortable with it I have done the Classroom in a Book and am going to study and be drilled by someone who has passed the exam

What do you mean by practically and therotically?

Aanarav,

I hope you are not using the A.C.E. initials after your name in your work as an editor – Adobe Certified Expert is not the same as American Cinema Editors – which is the worldwide insignia of someone who has been invited, approved and admitted to ACE based on achieving a high level in their work in film and television (Oscars, Emmys, etc.) and is a tough designation to attain – certainly harder than becoming Adobe, Apple or Avid certified.

No, I am not. I only use it for training and other purposes as specified in the Adobe “logo usage” guidelines. And, I am aware of the American Cinema Editors…

Thanks for the clarification.

I’d hold off on taking the test until the 2.0 tests come out.

If you’ve trained on 6.0, you’re off a bit from taking the 2.0 tests, or even the 1.5 tests. There are very specific questions that address features that are specific to each version.

You might also take a step back and question why you’re taking the tests. Unless you’re planning on marketing yourself rather heavily, you won’t see a great deal of benefits from the Adobe Certs. I got certified in a pretty saturated local Adobe user base, and it only minimally increased my work. I was planning on that Certification to help me rise above the rest, but it really only mattered to those who were looking for training rather than those who were looking for an editor. Your local mileage may vary…

There certainly are enough people out there that do get benefits from it. A few posters on this board are greatly benefitting from it.

The best course of action to take, is if you’re in this for the training work, do it, and then go seek the Adobe Certified Instructor status. Getting to that point carries some substantial weight that’s worth gaining.
