GMetrix – Adobe at ACU

Preparing for the ACA exam is important. Students seeking certification will be granted access to two amazing training resources.

First, the ACA LearnKey Curriculum. This curriculum will walk through all the objectives covered in the ACA certification exam. It is highly recommended that you go through this curriculum to prepare for the exam. LearnKey Curriculum is available for Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, and Dreamweaver.

Second, the GMetrix practice exam. The practice exam has two modes: Testing and Training. Training mode has an option to see the answer or correct process for completing a task. The testing mode does not have this option.

Recommended Process:
