EagleRidge Charter High School is now a Certiport Certified Adobe Training and Testing Center!

EagleRidge Charter High is 1 of only 2 Testing centers in Oregon. The ACA Certification is a life time award and is valid in every country around the world! The ACA exam is very rigorous, but, with dedication and training, it is not impossible for high school students to achieve.

Students and non-students may now register to complete the Adobe Certified Associate exam and receive national recognition for their technology skills.

All EagleRidge students who wish to become an Adobe Certified Associate must pay the $75.00 exam fee, but, does not need to pay the $50.00 Proctoring fee. The exam includes 2 retakes* just in case the student fails at their first attempts.

All non-EagleRidge Students must pay all fees, totaling $125.00 and also includes the 2 retakes!*

Currently available exams are for CS3 and CS5 versions only:

1. Visual Communication - using Adobe Photoshop
2. Web Communication - using Adobe Dreamweaver

4. Video Communication - using Adobe Premiere Pro

2011 fall classes will include an Adobe Certified, 1 full year, Photoshop course entitled "Visual Communication" that Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors may enroll. This course uses Adobe certified curriculum that teaches students exactly what they need to know to pass the ACA exam.

And, we also hope to offer:

Adobe Photoshop ACA training classes (open to the public).

* Subject: Exam Retake Policy Notification and Clarification

The Exam Retake Policy posted at http://www.certiport.com/PORTAL/desktopdefault.aspx?page=common/pagelibrary/RetakePolicy.htm states:

Certiport Centers shall enforce, and certification candidates shall observe, the following retake policy:

1. Candidates may retake the same exam once without restriction on the interval between exams. Candidates who wish to retake the exam a second or subsequent time, however, must wait a minimum of seven days before retaking the exam.

Please be aware that Certiport has enabled a server-side enforcement of the 7 day wait period for second retakes. If a test candidate attempts to take an exam for the 3rd time within the 7 day period, they will receive an error message and they will not be allowed to take the exam.
