As a student, you have the chance to get qualified as an Adobe Certified Associate (ACA) in Adobe Creative Cloud software, for free.
ACA certification represents an industry standard, globally recognised qualification that validates basic, entry-level skills in digital communications using Adobe tools, a great addition to your CV.
Our courses offer certification in:
- Indesign
- Illustrator
- Photoshop
- Premiere Pro
When can I start these courses?
You can enrol on an online course at any time. Courses are all completed through self-study via Blackboard and LinkedIn Learning. Once you complete the relevant training, you must take a mock exam to prepare for the final exam. Upon successfully passing the mock exam, you will be able to sit for the final exam. Dates for these exams are announced on Blackboard and you will receive notifications for this once you are enrolled on the module. There are no fees for the exam or training, but places are limited each year and exams are scheduled monthly.
What happens in the final exam?
Exams are all held onsite in Marylebone (unless stated otherwise). Exams are task-based using a live software environment. The test itself lasts 50 minutes and is based on what you’ve learnt in your training. Please note that you will need to pass the mock exams and provide evidence before you are allowed to take the real exam.
