| When I was teaching the occasional class in AE and FCP (and Premiere before FCP was released) between 10 and 15 years ago. The older experienced students in my classes were more interested in real world exercises, problem solving, and practical training than in learning how to push buttons. I often got comments about how local community college courses were staffed by academics rather than production artists, and how it felt lacking. Students really appreciated my real world experience. Younger students could get focussed on button pushing; I still pushed them towards more real world exercises as much as possible.

On the other hand, some schools (art center, otis, calarts, gnomon) are more interested in your portfolio and use of software than your proficiency with the application buttons/layout/navigation. In accredited schools, students evaluate instructors to administration. Students' reviews may be influenced by your button-ability (or ability to address every part of the application; whether you use it or not). You're probably familiar with this last part. > > > > On Dec 27, 2012, at 11:12 AM, Bruce Wainer wrote: > >> As a soon to graduate college student, would it be worth it to me in terms of finding jobs to take the ACE exam?
