I'm and ACI who has been asked to affiliated myself with a training centre. However, since doing so in September 2016 they have only offered me 5 training days. Should there be, or is there a minimum amount of training you should do in order to be associated or affiliated with an Adobe authorised training centre? I'd love to have the opinions of anyone with a similar experience.

At least they gave you some work. I've had centers want me affiliate with them with no promise of work - I refused, of course. My ACI status expires in June - not renewing. This is just one the many reasons...

I did renew in March and it was only when I realised how much work goes into prepping for the certification that I thought this is not something I should 'hand over' lightly. When I updated my details I didn't affiliate myself with anyone so waiting to see if they will contact me and ask to amend. I just feel someone else is benefiting from my hard work without any or much return.

That's a good question. I'd love to know the answer. As part of the requirements for AATCs they must train at least 15 people per calendar months, but I couldn't find any information about the use of external ACIs.

It's a real bug bear of mine that there are so many non ACIs out there offering training. I'd love to see some criteria on who AATCs should employ.

I agree... It's for that reason I'm not associated with ANY Training Centre, I prefer to be in independent ACI without ties to training centres. I do get emails -- from different states and even from the Middle East -- asking me if I want to provide training for established training centres, and have always politely said no
