November 23, 2021

East Tennessee State University’s Department of Media and Communication will offer a series of courses and testing leading to the Adobe Certified Associate (ACP) professional credential in Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere Pro and After Effects beginning Dec. 13.

Course participants will have access to online training materials for three weeks. All courses are 100% online and asynchronous. Participants will have access to more than 10 hours of course content to review on their own time and at their own pace. At the conclusion of the course, participants will complete the certification exam(s) that are delivered in an online synchronous format.

The deadline to register is Dec. 10. The course starts Dec. 13 and continues through Jan. 7, 2022. All five courses - in Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and After Effects - will run concurrently, and there are two different options for exam dates, so participants who enroll in two courses can complete the exams on different days.

The Online (synchronous) ACP Certification Exams are scheduled for Jan. 3, 2022, at 10 a.m. with an optional retake available on Jan. 6 at 10 a.m. The second ACP Certification Exam option will take place Jan. 4 at 2 p.m., with an optional retake available at 2 p.m. on Jan. 7. Course fees include all course materials, coordinator fees, exam fees, practice tests and the option for one retake.

The course is open to ETSU students and employees, as well as the public.

Participants can enroll in one course/exam for $500, or two courses/exams for $850. Other providers typically charge $1,250-2,000 per course. The courses are free for full-time faculty/staff through the Education Assistance Fund and employees cannot use both the Education Assistance Form and 20% Alumni/senior discount. Education Assistance funding forms must be completed and approved before the class.
