This advanced After Effects training course is for those that have previously completed the After Effects introduction course - or know over 85% of the course outline and are now ready to push themselves to that next level and gain Adobe certification.
Throughout your course you'll learn how to implement features that most aren't even aware of. You'll animate text layers, create masks and shapes, work with 3D plus lots more... All before achieving Adobe certification.
This course will be delivered through our Accelerated learning approach, allowing you to learn more information, easier and more efficiently than standard training approaches.
Our Adobe certified training team will be with you all the way. Afterwards you can publicise your certification with Adobe digital badges which provide a standardised certified outcome.
You must undertake the exam on a non-work (home) computer in a browser (Chrome, EDGE or Safari) which is connected to your home broadband connection (no VPN). You don't need any Adobe software installed to undertake the exam itself. The exam is delivered in Windows mode but since you're connecting via a browser - it doesn't matter if you're a Windows or MacOS user.
This course is for designers, marketers, developers or anyone looking to take their motion graphics and visual effects skills to an advanced level and gain After Effects certification status.
Our Accelerated learning approach at Certitec is unique within the Adobe training industry. Our focus is not on what you learn, but how you learn. Referred to as ‘Accelerated Learning’, this process allows you to digest a significant amount of information more quickly, and more easily than through other methods.
Find out more about our Accelerated learning process.
The first two days of training will focus on learning the advanced features, including how to create animated text layers, masks and shapes, work with 3D and more. The third and final day is purely focused on Adobe certification, with preparation taking place in the morning and the exam in the afternoon.
You’ll leave the training course with an advanced level skillset, including an Adobe certified status that further promotes your skill level.
The final day of your course will be focused on the official Adobe After Effects exam objectives.
– Exam preparation - 10am – 1pm
– Undertaking exam - 1.30pm – 2.45pm (exam itself 50 mins)
You must undertake the exam on a non-work (home) computer in a browser (Chrome, EDGE or Safari) which is connected to your home broadband connection (no VPN). You don't need any Adobe software installed to undertake the exam itself. The exam is delivered in Windows mode but since you're connecting via a browser - it doesn't matter if you're a Windows or MacOS user.

Classroom training has many advantages over other formats of training since in-person interaction and communication plays an extremely important part to absorbing information.
Classroom training allows you to get trained in a safe, quiet, clean environment, away from the noise and pressures of the office or home. The classroom environment provides the important “human touch,” which is often missing in technology-based training.
You can’t beat real life interaction when asking important questions and receiving immediate feedback.
Other benefits of classroom training include:
Remote training introduces a virtually no-limits training option since it's extremely flexible. You can attend a remote training session anywhere in the world and has become increasingly popular over the last few years.
Remote training plays itself into your hands and you can harness technology to enable you to use traditional computers, tablets and even phones for complete flexibility.
You can see your trainer (webcam) and they will take you through the training session like you're actually attending a classroom training event.
Other benefits of remote training include:

Is there any pre or post study required prior to undertaking any course?
The simple answer is no.
If you have booked an 'Adobe certified' course with us - you do have the option to view some sample documents we send across prior to your exam.
Although this would only affect your scoring by a couple of percent either way.
Adobe certified professional. Build a unique portfolio and gain a professional certification that communicates your advanced knowledge- that is what becoming Adobe certified is about.
Is there any technical support after the course completes?
After your course, we don’t leave you high-and-dry. Our technical support is provided for a lifetime.
How do I gain multiple Adobe certifications?
Become an Adobe certified professional with our Adobe certification masterclass. It will provide you with a solid qualification in the design / video sector and increase your chances of landing your dream job!
I become Adobe certified a couple of years ago. Does this mean I'm still Adobe certified?
When you undertake and pass an Adobe certified professional (or the retired 'Adobe certified associate) exam, then you will always be certified in the specific version of the exam you undertook.
e.g. You become Adobe certified in Premiere Pro CC2022 and you will always possess this accreditation.
However, as time moves onwards, Adobe will release more recent versions (e.g. CC 2023, CC2024 etc).
Therefore to remain 'current' then you will need to ensure you have passed the very latest version of the Adobe certified professional exam.
How do I obtain the Adobe Creative Cloud software?
You can either subscribe to the entire suite (that’s all the applications) or just one application on a monthly basis. Adobe offers a free 7-day trial for each application if you wish to try before you subscribe.
Just visit the Adobe Creative Cloud page and see what might be the best option for you.
What happens if I am unwell on the morning of my course?
This is just fine from a course perspective since you can re-arrange again (according to our course schedule) for no fee.
Can I jump immediately to an advanced course?
Delegates attending an Advanced course must already possess at least 85% of the knowledge of the (previous) Introduction course. This is so you are not out of your depth in the Advanced course and also so other delegates are not affected.
Will I be able to work to my own agenda in the training?
Our courses are scheduled and run with the same outline and objectives.
Whilst our trainers can field some ad hoc questions along the way we are unable to provide specific information on your personal project.
Is the training just 'watching' or is it interactive?
The training is interactive just like you were in the training room with the trainer.
You will download the training files and work through modular exercises with your Adobe certified instructor.
If you need assistance you can ask your trainer and they will help you work through any issues you experience.
What if I fail my Adobe certified exam?
Should you not pass the first time, you can retake the exam (up to 5 separate free attempts are allowed) for no charge when the course runs again in our schedule.
The Adobe certified professional (ACP) exam is facilitated solely by Certiport and their testing solution (Exams from Home [EFH]).
See our booking conditions should the Certiport EFH system become inaccessible or inoperable.
Will I get a certificate for attending?
Yes - your Adobe training centre certificate of attendance will be emailed after your training course completes.

For me the pace was a bit too fast and toggling from the screen to watch what he was doing and then back to the working screen meant that I sometimes missed parts of the tutorial
Natalie Pugh. 14th November, 2023
The training was delivered at the right pace with clear and concise instructions and explanations. Also all the tasks given were interesting and good fun. Having access to the video recording afterwards is of great benefit to recap and refresh
Tiffany Jew. 6th November, 2023
Alistair, was an excellent instructor, great pace, easily understandable and helped with every question asked by the participants
Pier Palatone. 4th October, 2023
You cover a lot in the sessions, but it is covered comprehensively. The sessions are broken into manageable bite-size sessions with adequate time for breaks. The tutor (Richard Bird) is brilliant - passionate, clear and patient
Matt Sandcock. 4th September, 2023
Enjoyable, fun and very informative
