Overview
This Premiere Pro training course is the next step for anyone that's attended our Premiere Pro introduction course - or know over 85% of the course outline and wants to work at an advanced level and become Adobe certified.
You’ll work through the advanced features that most aren't even aware of, including features like multicam editing, advanced audio, creating dynamic titles and more... All before becoming Adobe certified.
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, helping you go from an advanced user to an Adobe certified professional. 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.

Accelerated learning
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.
- Establish a firm understanding on the learning process before embarking
- Overcoming any learned helplessness by reframing what will be learnt upon completion
- Sessions no longer than 60 minutes each to maximise how we learn
- The use of course workbooks to strengthen memory retention (classroom)
- Finding a balance between new and recap learning
- Kinaesthetic (‘hands-on’) techniques
- Video of entire course upon completion (remote)

Classroom trainint
Advantages of classroom training
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:
- Group interaction. People learn from one another as well as from the trainer
- Training groups can be large or small
- Classroom training also teaches us how to interact with one another in a professional, productive, cooperative way, which is something that other forms of training often don’t provide
Remote training
Advantages of remote training
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:
- No travel to the classroom - you can attend remote training in your pj's if you wish!
- Training groups can be large or small and even split over multiple locations and even multiple countries at the same time
- You have the ability to interact with your trainer by talking, electronically raising your hand and even allow for them to see your screen (if you authorise)
- All remote training sessions are recorded - so you can play-back at anytime in the future and enhance your learning experience

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.
What is Adobe certification?
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.
What do I receive after my course completes?
Upon completion of your course, you will receive the following assets:
- a video of your actual course with your trainer (remote)
- a video of your classroom trainer delivering the course syllabus which you covered (classroom)
- keyboard shortcuts
- links to supplementary 'help' documents if applicable to your course
