ACE certification

Dear wise one,
I have a personal question.
If I want to prepair myself to do the test for ACE certification, will it be enought if I study and practice all available After Effects tutorials (at Lynda.com)?
Or will there also be truobleshooting questions? (since we are the technical support agents). If this is true, how can I prepair myself for such a test?
Kindest regards
Umed

The ACE exams require you to attend at least 1 or 2 praparation courses with other certified instructors, AFAIK, so just learning everything about AE you can find for free will not be enough. Anyway, just send an inquiry at the ACE pages here on Adobe.com, they can give you all the details. How useful it will be for you acting as technical advisors, is anotehr question. Aside from the fact that I simply don't have the money for ACE, I never felt the need for it. AE and I are on a first name basis anyway, and some sort of diploma or certificate will probably not add anything to that relationship.

  • Regarding Adobe Flex ACE certification exam

    Hi,
    Iam planning to take Adobe Flex ACE certification exam in 2 weeks . Iam currentlydeveloping web based application in social Retail 2.0 in Flex 3.0
    But I have no practical knowledge in Adobe AIR.  I planning to read theory alone regarding AIR modules. Is it possible to get thru the flex certification if i dont have practical knowledge in AIR ?

    Hi,
    Have you tried out the Attest 1.5 AIR app? It's a sample exam engine for the Flex 3/AIR Certification that can help you prepare for your certification.
    The types of questions shown for the AIR APIs etc should be fairly representative of the types of questions and content you will need to know for the actual exam. At the end of your exams, the questions you got wrong will have feedback and links to open up documentation to help you understand why you got a question wrong. We are currently adding more questions/exams to it as well as some UI tweaks, so you should be seeing a 2.0 version coming soon !! It's FREE for developers, and you can install it here: http://software.pxldesigns.com/attest/
    Hope it helps ~ please feel free to provide feedback to Dave or myself either at PXL Design's site or mine, thanks!

  • ACE certification- practice tests, study materials?

    Hi, I'm looking to get the ACE certification in Photsohop. What would be some good materials to study and is there a place that has practice exams to give me an idea what the test is like?
    What kinds of questions are on the test, are they all multiple choice?
    I have the Photoshop CS5 Classroom In A Book from Adobe, is that a good study material?
    Any information you could give me regarding the test would be greatly appreciated as I have no idea what to expect.

    Hi Thomas,
    Good question.  We are working on putting together a document that will identify different learning vehicles to help meet the different objective areas for the exam.  Goal is within the next week to have something ready .... it would be a living document as learning content is always popping up ... docs, whitepapers, demos, training, etc.
    In the future, as Adobe releases more Enterprise certification exams this kind of learning map will be available when the exam is announced.
    It will be posted to the Adobe site but I will be sure to post here this one time in specific response to your question in the event that the publishing process would cause delays.

  • Do the ACE certifications only focus on new features in the version of the software.

    Hello everyone,
    A bit confused about adobe ACE certifications.
    right,  i was looking at using some of the revision notes from ucertify, and was a little baffled you see, in the notes theres is only 200 and something questions on the photoshop cs5 exam and when i looked on the photoshop cs4 exam prep there was like 600 and something?? most of these companies say that there prep kits feature 95% of the material required to pass the exam so looking at this it would be easier to pass the cs5 exam than the cs4 exam?
    as i've never taken one of these exams before so this makes me think that the exams are only based on new features with the version of the software not a complete overview of the software.
    is this right? or do they just not put it in the prep material as they expect you to have learnt it all from the previous exams?
    very confusing.
    hope someone can help
    tom.

    yea thats what i thought, thats the most sensible answer that they expect you to
    know it.
    but... have you taken any of the them? would love to hear from someone thats taken a few, i wasn't even sure if i'd put this post in the right forum to be honest.
    just seems odd why they say 95% of the material is in the prep stuff seems too easy.
    i'd have thought that since the cs4 exam had that many more questions that the cs5 exam would have even more prep material but obviously not so.

  • Dreamweaver ACE certification exam

    I would like to take the Dreamweaver ACE certification exam. Can you recommend study materials and practice exams. When will the Dreamweaver CS6 exam be available.

    I'd recommend that you consider the practice exams from ExamAids - http://www.examaids.com.  I expect that the Dreamweaver one will be available within the next 2 months. Meanwhile, you can learn a great deal from the Adobe Dev center articles, and from reading this forum, for that matter.
    Disclaimer - I am associated with ExamAids and have been responsible for the last several versions of the Dreamweaver exams.

  • After Effects CS5 ACE Certification ?

    Hello.
    Not sure if this is the right forum to talk about, but can someone provide accurate information on when will be ready the CS5 Certification or Re-Certification, for After Effects and Premiere?
    Right know there are only a few products with available CS5 ACE "Re" and Certication, but the main exams are mostly still on CS4. Is this apparent delay normal, for releasing updated exams?
    Thanks for your time, and have a great kickstart 2011 to all.
    Regards

    It's published on the Adobe official page for the Certification List.
    Each test and certification type has its proper value, from 50 dollars to 150 dollars.
    I think the prices are fixed, being you a student or not.
    Check it on:

  • Does reading ACE certification study guides help me understand photoshop?

    There are plenty of tutorials online teaching people how to do this and that; but for a newbie like me, the biggest problem is, I can follow the recipes, but most of the time, I don't understand the reason behind them. I have been wondering if these things would become more obvious and intuitive if I have a fundamental understanding of the tools first.
    Adobe seems to give out certification exams.  I am just wondering if it would be helpful to buy a exam study guide and read it through (not necessarily going for the certification).  Has anyone done it?  What guide is the best? Or do these guides are just more advanced recipes without explaining anything either?

    I would suggest that you look at Adobe Classroom in a Book Photoshop CS5, Adobe Press.
    It does a good job of sharing the "why," almost as much as the "how." I feel that too many books, and tutorials skip the why, while only concentrating on the how. Many of the ACE questions come from the chapter review material, which is in Q&A form.
    Good luck,

  • ACE Certification Query

    Hey,
    I'm interested in giving the ACE exam for Photoshop CS4 but I don't know how should I prepare.I already have the Exam guide and it only has few sample questions.Please some one suggest me any book or blog or anything which can be helpful in the preparation.I also wanted to ask,till when the exam will be available ?
    Thanks.

    One need the knowledge of
    using the application and the theoretical knowledge of the application
    as well. I don't remember having to answer questions based on theoretical knowledge of the application (perhaps you mean something else?).
    Many questions I had on Ps Ace exams were about keyboard
    shortcuts, positions of certain elements within Ps interface etc.
    I think an "expert" should know keyboard shortcuts and how to assign them as well. Likewise, knowing where commands are located is essential. As I said, most people find commands intuitively or use KBSCs so much that they forget where commands are located.
    On
    the last exam for CS5 I had loads of photography questions that
    required the knowledge of Photography not Photoshop so without
    experience in photography I wouldn't know the answers.
    There was a time when you could get by without knowing anything about photography but since the advent of digital photography and the addition of Camera Raw and features such as Photomerge and Merge To HDR, you need to know something about how to originate files in order to process images, make the best panoramas and HDR images.
    One can look at the Ace Exam Preps that can be found online, they may help as well.
    One can but you will need the ability to desipher the topics and time to find appropriate pages in Help. For example, how many people will know what's meant by the following:
    •    Given a scenario, use Refine Edge/Mask to capture increased detail both soft and hard edges.
    Above is the very first topic in the recertification Prep Guide for Photoshop CS5 ...If you get stuck at the first topic...

  • ACE Certification training resources

    Hi Everyone
    I am studying to become ACE certified in flash cs3 and am
    looking from some resources to help me along the way.
    I have got flash - classroom in a book
    But was looking for something more along the lines of some of
    the books for the older version of flash such as
    Flash mx 2004 Certified Study Guide
    I have looked around but can't seem to find anything similar
    for cs3 version, does anyone know of anything.
    I want to get an idea of what sort of questions are going to
    come up.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Matt

    This has been discussed over at Photoshop and the Illy forums. There's no easy answer. The ACE exam words questions badly, vaguely, and convolutedly. I took the PS exam about 8 years ago and passed but some of the questions were so poorly worded I could barely understand what they wanted. Plus some questions dig into the most unused or hidden features of the app.
    My advice is to use every aspect of the program possible. Really. Every funky weird thing, no matter how trivial. - Color settings, XML, swf/flash export, tables, output options, etc etc.
    Also ask yourself if you are taking this for personal satisfaction or you can get immediate employment improvement/opportunity.

  • Flash CS3 or CS4 Developer Certification

    Hi,
         I am a flash developer, I am looking for Flash Developer certification in CS3 or CS4 but Adobe still don't have any certification for Flash Developer.
         Only Flash CS3 certification are there in Adobe. If Any one know When Adobe Planning to release Flash Developer certification please add that
    details  in this Forums or If you know any mail id for Adobe certification preparation team also please let know. Thanks

    Adobe hasn't in the past broken the Flash certification down into Developer v Designer.  Adobe only puts an ACE certification on Flash as a whole, with every part of the IDE, including scripting, in the exam.
    It looks like they haven't completed a CS4 Flash ACE exam yet, so the only one available is the Flash CS3 ACE.
    http://partners.adobe.com/public/ace/main.html
    There are, however, specialist certification groups that you can go for, which require passing multiple exams.

  • FM training and certification

    I have used Framemaker as part of my job but would like to learn a lot more about it. I see several kinds of online training, and I'd like to know opinions of any of them, including which are the best for the price.
    I'm also unclear about Framemaker certification. I see the ACE certification, but the Adobe website has a listing that does not mention ACE, sending me instead to something Pearson Vue. Can someone recommend a good approach for certification? (Granting that I have a long way to go.)
    Thanks for any answers.

    Hi Chris,
    I'm one of your options for online training. I've been working with FM since the early 90's, represent Adobe at FrameMaker-related conferences, and work directly with them on projects.
    I can also help you with any certification questions you might have, as I've been an Adobe Certified FrameMaker Instructor since the mid 90's.
    If you have any questions about classes or more specialized training, I'd be happy to discuss either here or via phone and email. ([email protected])

  • Como ser web specialst ACE

    Hola a todos,
    Estoy mirando las certificaciones ACE de Photoshop y Dreamweaver CS5, y me surgen dudas..
    - Es obligatorio un nivel muy alto de inglés para todo el examen?
    - Existe alguna web con contenido y prácticas para estas nuevas versiones?
    - Algún consejillo?
    Gracias!

    1. El nivel de inglés es el necesario para entender bien las preguntas, su redacción no es "shakesperiana" sino técnica, y eso si, hay que entenderla de forma clara e inequívoca.
    En cuanto a vocabulario hay que conocer todas las palabras que aparecen en menús, comandos, etc. de cada programa. Conviene usar o practicar con la versión en inglés para familiarizarse.
    2. Creo que hay algunas empresas que ofrecen cursos con preguntas y tutoriales de algunos programas, usa Google (Adobe ACE, certification exam,...)
    En la web de Adobe incluye un PDF con los contenidos y requisitos del examen, el no. de preguntas a acertar, áreas de conocimiento, y al final unas cuantas preguntas de ejemplo.
    3. Hay que conocer (muy bien) TODAS las partes de cada uno de los programas, asi que en Photoshop te preguntaran sobre p. ej. CMYK, o gestión de color.

  • CF10 or CF11 ACE?

    Greetings,
    Recently, I heard that ColdFusion 9's projected End-of-Life is the end of this calendar year.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/products/enterprise/eol/eol_matrix.html
    Product name
    Version
    Build
    General availability
    End of core support
    End of extended support
    Adobe ColdFusion
    9.x
    10/5/2009
    12/31/2014
    12/31/2016
    Since ColdFusion 11 Enterprise became available this week, are there any plans to begin offering the ACE certification for ColdFusion in a higher version than 9?
    I don't see the point in getting certified for CF9 since it's in the process of being sunset.

    Guys, it’s update 14 that adds support of Java 8 (aka 1.8) to CF10 (and update 3 for CF11). For details, see:
    http://blogs.coldfusion.com/post.cfm/which-jdk-is-supported-with-coldfusion-9-10-and-11
    Also, as for CF running with Java 8, besides those who may have changed the setup for CF to use it after those updates above, note that CF11 as downloaded now and the past month or so has come with Java 8 preinstalled and preconfigured. I work with many (many) people who are running CF11 in production configured that way and I’ve not run into any problems that were shown to be due to Java 8 itself.
    (That said, do beware if you may see people complaining of it, to make sure that they are running one of the supported updates of CF 10 or 11.)
    Finally, as for your saying you “cannot access Solr under our DEV CF10's if Sandbox is on”, is this different from the problem you had with Solr that we solved when the sandbox was setup correctly (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1673581)?
