Learner resources are aligned to the ACER Academy learning progression, with engaging challenges just beyond the learner's comfort zone to help them grow and reach their targets.
Our resources
Learner resources to guide your learning progression
Our fun and engaging resources provide targeted opportunities that challenge and extend learners.
Learn
Learners' skills vary dramatically in every class and grade. Our resources are targeted to the learner's current skill level and adapt as they learn, allowing them to set their own pace.
Test
Learners can sit an ACER Certificate test whenever they feel they are ready for the next challenge. There are five levels of certificates from entry level 1 to advanced level 5.
Progress
Activities aligned with the ACER Academy learning progression allow learners to progress in each skill area at their own pace.

Supporting student-centred learning in schools
Increasingly, schools are providing students with opportunities to pursue independent learning pathways and additional challenges through a range of in-school and extra-curricular programs.
How ACER Academy works for schoolsIdentify a learner’s individual needs and create challenging learning opportunities
All learners are at some point in their learning and all are capable of further progress if they are engaged and motivated to make the necessary effort and are provided with well-targeted opportunities.
Learning progressions are designed to establish and understand where children are in their learning. Learning progressions are developed from empirical evidence of typical sequences in which students progress in their learning and also form a theoretical understanding of the nature of progress. They are also influenced by curriculum conventions.
Our learning progressions visualise the structure of learning in mathematics and reading comprehension to illustrate what progress looks like.
