ACA/ACE in India

Hi,

I am a part of eLearning team for three years now. My management thinks that I should have a certification in Dreamweaver and Captivate. I Googled and found that I can take the online test via Pearson site. However, I am not sure about the questions and show should I prepare about that.

I can't find any useful resource that can guide me in getting this done. There is no training center here in India that provides any sort of help. Is there any resource that can be of use before I take the exam?

I have three years of work experience on Dreamweaver. Shall I aim for ACE or should start with ACA?

Thanks,
Vinayak
