Effectively yes. The second lesson already assumes you can import, use the Library and work the Develop panel, and nothing here doubles back to cover them. If any of that is shaky, take the first certificate instead. It is in the same subscription, so there is no cost to doing them in the right order.

Everything that happens either side of a single edit. Filing a shoot with metadata presets and collections, culling in two passes, camera calibration, tethered capture, presets and batch syncing, the Print module, and the cloud round trip between desktop, browser and phone. It is the difference between editing one photograph well and handling a whole shoot quickly.

Yes, and masking is the heart of it. Graduated masks, radial masks, color masks, stacking them, and erasing one back off what it should not be touching. Alongside that you learn an editing order you can defend: profile and calibration first, then global tone, then per color, then local. That order is what stops an edit falling apart.

Yes, and this is the practical payoff for anyone shooting volume. You build a preset from an edit you already made, keeping only the settings you deliberately changed rather than baking in everything, then sync an entire set from a single frame. For a wedding, an event or a product shoot, that is hours back every time.

Probably not, and it is better to know that now. A small number of lessons run on a phone or in a browser, and the large majority are Lightroom Classic on a computer. If the phone is genuinely your only device, the first Lightroom certificate serves you far better, since it dedicates whole modules to mobile editing.

Only for the tethering lessons, and everything else is followable without one. If you have a camera that shoots raw and a cable, those lessons become genuinely useful for studio and product work. If you do not, watch them for the workflow and move on. Nothing later in the course depends on having done it yourself.

Yes, separate from the first one and included in the same subscription. Modules carry quizzes at a 75% pass mark that never block your progress, and a twenty question final exam opens once every lesson and quiz is complete. Passing it issues a certificate with a verification code and a public link anyone can check.
