About ACE exam for Lr5

Hi guys,
i want to take the exam for Adobe Lightroom Expert in Lightroom 5 [not 4].i went to Pearson`s VUE page and i see that IS a Lightroom 5 exam [code:9A0-361 Lightroom 5 ACE Exam English ]
I also check at examaids and they also have a Lr5 ACE exam aid.So far so good BUT i ask ACE portal in facebook and they told me that the Lr5 exam is in beta version and is not officially released yet
I mail to ask examaids and they confirm the same think as ACE portal said : "..we are still waiting for the exam to be released. ..."
Can anyone have any experience about this? did you guys know when Lightroom 5 exam is officially released ?
Thanks a lot for your time!!!

Lily, I've been through this discussion several times over the years - of course I'm not naive and think the exam is the only thing that proves you are a good instructor. But it is the starting point. If someone is a poor instructor, there are checks and balances in place - ACIs are required to offer a survey after each class that is sent to Adobe to monitor in-class instruction quality.
According to the Adobe Training guidelines, ACEs are technically not qualified to teach. And before you fly off the handle, I know there are ACEs out there than CAN teach and would probably do very well to take the next step and get their ACI certs. However, many ACEs are tech support, users who wanted the cert for career goals, etc. Sure you can "memorize the help menu" but that is not the only resource for the exam. The exams have always been based on a lot of different aspects of the software and nowhere does it say that the Help menu is the only resource for materials. It doesn't make the exam any less valid.
I've been an ACI for the past 10 years in various softwares and have been involved in the Certified community in various capacities including authoring the most recent round of AI exams. The examples you give are not unique to Captivate and there will always be less than qualified "experts" but they are the minority. Being certified is one step to placing you above the others. Your reputation and feedback from clients/students helps as well.
My question is if you find the exams to be so pointless what would you do in lieu of the exams to prove that someone is certified in Adobe software? If there is no certification program, anyone could say they are an expert in something without recourse.

  • Trying to book ACE exam for Indesign CC - but not available

    Why is an ACE exam for Indesign CC not available and when will it be? I have been trying to book it via Pearson Vue for some time but no luck. Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Dreamweaver are all available as ACE exams for CS6 and CC but no Indesign. Are you dropping Indesign from the ACE curriculums?

    Thanks Rajshree
    The link you posted directs to the CS6 exam, I was wondering why CC isn't available for Indesign (but is for other softwares). I have already contacted Pearson Vue and they said that Adobe hasn't supplied them with any Indesign CC exam and to contact Adobe regarding why.
    I tried to contact Adobe but they said that they could only offer software support and didn't have info about the ACE process.
    I'm thinking this is a dead end.
    Thanks again for your reply thou

  • When will ACE exam for Captivate 4 be available?

    Has anyone heard anything from Adobe about when the Captivate 4 ACE exam will be available?

    I had heard there would be one, but I am not certain about timing. I'll will try to find out something for you.
    When available, they will be listed here. http://partners.adobe.com/public/ace/main.html
    I will make sure we put an announcement on this Forum when that happens.

  • When is Adobe going to start offering ACE exams for its CS5 products?

    I am most interested in getting the CS5 Web Specialist certification (Dreamweaver, Flash Pro, and either Photoshop or Illustrator).  I have asked multiple departments at Adobe over the phone and even called Pearson VUE, the company Adobe outsources its testing to.  Nobody seems to know the answer to this question.  If you're not sure, please let me know who might be able to answer this question, it's actually pretty pressing.  Thank you very much in advance.

  • ACE exams for Flash CS5?

    Hail Adobe Community!
    I've asked this same question a week ago, in another topic (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3398941?tstart=0#3398941).
    I just want to know if there is, at least, an approximated date for the Flash CS5 exam release.

  • When will the ACE exam be updated for LR 2.0?

    Just wondering if anyone has heard if / when the ACE exam for Lightroom will be updated to reflect the fact that we're on Version 2.0 of the software (well, 2.2 / 2.3 I guess). It seems to me that the summary page:
    http://partners.adobe.com/public/ace/main.html
    and the prep guide:
    http://partners.adobe.com/public/en/ace/ACE_Exam_Guide_PhotoshopLightroom.pdf
    don't specifically refer to v2.0 and I don't *think* they've been updated recently. I have tried emailing Adobe support about this, but they have only said that "it depends on the higher authority and the web development team who takes decision amongst themselves about the schedule of the exam." I find it hard to believe that the web development team decide what goes into the LR ACE exam! However, I tried to seek clarification and was given the same answer once again.
    I seem to remember reading that when a new version of a program is released, the ACE for the older version is only valid for another X months (possibly 6?), before you have to re-take the exam for the new version to remain ACE-qualified. Obviously I don't want to take the ACE exam for v1.0 (which I don't actually even have any more!) if they suddenly update it next week.

    I have asked someone who should know and will wait for an answer then post back.

  • Can anyone recommend a resource for the ACE Exam?

    I would like to take the ACE exam for Dreamweaver and want to practice on sample tests. Does anyone have any suggestions for where I may download or purchase sample exams? Also, any other suggestions for helpful resources that can assist with studying? Thank you!

    There are sample questions at the end that we found to be actually incorrect.
    I have taken only a brief look at that document, and have just two comments:
    In spite of the URL, that's not the preparation guide for the ACE (Adobe Certified Expert) exam, but the ACA (Adobe Certified Associate) exam. I believe that ACA is intended for use in schools, and is not considered to be a professional qualification. It certifies individuals have the entry-level skills.
    You're right. Both the questions and some of the answers are completely off the wall. Adobe should withdraw that document immediately (and the exam if it bears any relationship to those questions). Sadly, they refused to do so with the Dreamweaver CS3 ACE exam in spite of considerable pressure from Adobe Certified Instructors and Community Experts. The CS3 ACE exam was so bad, Adobe acknowledged a pass in the DW8 exam as sufficient credentials to qualify as a certified instructor.
    The document that I pointed to (http://partners.adobe.com/public/en/ace/ACE_Exam_Guide_DreamweaverCS4.pdf) is the ACE exam preparation guide. Apart from the missing screenshot, the questions and answers appear to be OK, although I would debate the wisdom of the strategy suggested in the question about synchronization.

  • PSCS4 ACE Exam - Questions on 3D and Video included or not?

    Hi,
    I have been thinking of taking the ACE exam for CS4 for awhile now. I have been using a couple of the exam sims available, ExamAids & uCertify but have noticed that while the uC one has questions on 3D, Video and Animation, the EA one does not.
    Can anyone who has actually taken the test please tell me if they had to answer questions on these elements of the software. I'm not interested in what the questions were, just if they covered those subjects. I know they are not listed on the exam bulletin, but they might crop up in the 'Advanced Knowledge' section.
    And before anyone from the 'why bother with ACE exams' crowd chips in, I work for a training company that wants to become AATC, they need to use ACIs to achieve that status. So I need to become an ACE.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kris

    The questions are only comming from the prep guide, if something isn't mentioned there then it won't be in the exam. There's nothing about 3d in the prep guide so you don't need to learn about it but there are two subpoints about video so make sure that you go through those:
    •  Given a scenario, describe the proper color conversion to apply. (Scenarios include: To CMYK for prepress, to a different color space for Web or video.)
    •  Explain how to use features that handle images moving to and from video workflows.(Includes: Pixel aspect ratio, document presets, Video Preview.)

  • ACE recertification for Lightroom2

    Hi I was wondering if there will be a "recertification" for Lightroom2 since I pass the ACE exam for Lightroom1 and now I see that there is a new exam for lightoom2 but I can't find any thing about "recertification" for lightroom.
    Does any body knows any thing about it ??
    TIA

    You asked about recertification not price. As you can see from the table linked below recertification is only available for a selection of the product range.For these products Adobe list a reduce price and for others (inc Lr 2) there is no recertification option currently available. So, as things stand, you can wait until a formal recertification option becomes available at a reduced price or pay full whack now. Either way, you still need to take the Lr exam.
    This being a User to User forum it's hardly likely that anyone here will know when or even if a recertification options will ever be available. For that info you will need to contact Adobe directly.

    No unfortunately, we've decided to have our developer work on a couple more Oracle practice test products before writing the 1Z0-0146 Study Guide. We'll be releasing the Oracle 10g RAC and 11g Performance Tuning products in the next few months. When we get the study guide back on the project plan, we'll certainly let our customers know, so check back on our web site later this Summer.
    So, it looks like it's been postponed indefinitely. They went from February to late March to May to June to indefinite. I won't hold my breath anymore.

  • Studying for ACE Exam

    Hello all,
    I can't afford to take classes to prepare for the Adobe
    RoboHelp ACE exam, and my company won't pay for classes either.
    Therefore, what's the best way to study without taking courses?
    Should I buy Siegel's RH 7 book? If I study everything here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/robohelp/,
    would that help me? I was also thinking of combing the online Help
    for RH 7. Thoughts? Advice? Thanks in advance.

    Hi LaKisha
    The best way IMHO is to simply play with RoboHelp. Be
    familiar with all its nooks and crannies. The Siegel book *MAY*
    help you but it wasn't designed to prepare for the exam. It was
    designed to help a total noob learn RoboHelp enough to be
    productive with it.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Captivate 4 ACE exam

    Does anyone know if the ACE exam is available for Cap4?  I've checked the list according to Adobe's website but am only able to find it for version 3.
    Thanks,
    randy

    Hello,
    I know this thread is quite old, but I came across some comments about Captivate 4 that I think you could get a workaround from if you wanted to.
    In regards to audio quality, I experience the tinny, hollow audio quality you speak of. There is a work around for it. Unfortunately it requires you use Captivate 3.
    Import your audio files into Captviate 3.
    Save the file
    Open the Captivate 4 file you want to put the audio in
    Go to File - Import - External Library (You must be in Edit View)
    Import the CP3 file you created with the audio in it.
    Drag the audio files from the imported library to your Captivate 4 library.
    Problem solved.
