Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Masterclass with ACA Exam 5 Days - London

Premiere Pro ACA Masterclass 5 Days Overview

This 5-day Masterclass course will help you learn about the tools and features available for power users of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. We will guide you in learning the work area and importing and editing simple digital videos. Once you grasp the basics of the program, we will show you how to take your understanding to the next level. We will cover advanced topics such as adjusting frame rates, working with alpha channels, adding time lapses, and much more.

Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Navigate the Premiere Pro environment
• Organise video projects
• Assemble and fine-tune clip sequences

The final day of the course is dedicated to the Adobe Certified Associate (ACA) Premiere Pro exam, including trying a mock exam, reviewing answers, and then taking the real exam. The ACA exam represents an official qualification, and you will be provided with an instant pass or fail result. We are confident that you will join everyone we have already helped to pass the exam and collect an official certificate of Adobe Certified Associate status.

As well as giving you the opportunity to take the ACA exam, this course is the perfect preparation if you plan to take the Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) exam.

Our goals are for you to edit and manage digital video, to understand the advanced features of Premiere Pro, to become a confident power user, and to leave with an ACA qualification under your belt.

This course can be taken in a single 5-day block or split into a 3-day block (Introduction) and then a separate 2-day block (Advanced plus ACA exam) taken at a later date.
