Online, April 19, 2010 (Newswire.com) - SEATTLE (AACC Convention 2010) - April 19, 2010
Certiport, the leading provider of test delivery services for the global workforce and academic markets, today announced that their higher education customers can now offer Adobe Certified Associate (ACA) exams through an annual ACA Campus License.

For the first time, academic institutions can use the ACA Campus License to conduct unlimited online ACA testing per campus based on full-time enrollment of their program, streamlining testing budgets and allowing them to ensure certification for all students with capped costs while staying up-to-date on the latest versions of product releases.

The ACA Campus License ensures Certiport customers will only need to approve one cost per year, instead of ongoing charges for every student test. With an unlimited license, academic institutions can provide ACA testing to any educational program on campus without a price barrier or scheduling conflicts.

The exams test an individual's proficiency using Adobe Flash®, Photoshop® and Dreamweaver®.

"The new ACA Campus License will mean lower costs, expanded implementation, increased control and simplified budgeting for our higher education customers," said Quinn Sutton, senior vice president, Certiport. "As leaders in this space, Certiport is committed to offering our network of academic institutions the most popular tests at a reasonable price point. By paying a flat fee once per year, our customers will be able to offer the ACA test to every student without hesitation."

All exam versions are included with the ACA Campus License, allowing students and instructors to certify on current skills and migrate to new versions of Adobe products without any additional costs. The license also includes all necessary course materials including Certiprep practice tests and exams.

"If you actually have a certification that goes along with [the software], it's easier to get through the budget process of why we need this particular software," said Carlotta Eaton, game technology programs director and professor of information, New River Community College.

The unlimited license allows higher education institutions to take the ACA exams one step further and offer the certification to instructors for professional development, or to the community at-large. ACA exams can become a profit center for institutions who build the costs into student fees.

Certiport offers higher education customers start-to-finish customer support, which includes certificate fulfillment and digital transcript service for students. The cost of the ACA Campus License depends on full-time enrollment of their program with various pricing options.
