There are 2 courses (Photoshop & Digital Art Tools) both at £299 - enter the discount/promo code NEW69 to get £230 off.
Training and Level 1 Photoshop CS6 Certificate.
Udemy Photoshop training course that will take you from absolute beginner to proficient Photoshop user in no time at all.
£18.19 training and a certificate of completion.
Sorry I don't know what these certificates are worth as a "qualification" as they are basic/beginner training courses.

For what it is worth - most companies wanting photoshop skills will either ask you to demonstrate them or want to see a portfolio...
For regular lower level use they would simply want to know the amount of use each week and what you are comfortable doing
A qualification like that would have no impact on my choosing someone- a portfolio is far more powerful a statement

Get her a copy of photoshop and show her the amazing tutorials on youtube.
Honestly, you can learn more from youtube than a classroom course.
That way she can build up some work to show her skills.
Photoshop isn't a secret that just needs to be revealed to you, it's years of experience using it. The sooner you start the better it is.
If she likes photography already, she should start using it now at home on her own photos.
Watch channels like Kelby and Piximperfect (there are many more) and she will already be more advanced than what some of those courses teach.
As was said above the qualifications don't mean much in an interview anyway.

Thanks akirk. I agree with what you say but she's young with zero meaningful experience yet. A certification will at least show that she can be bothered - which I hope will count for something!
agree - won't harm - I just phrased it badly 
what I was saying is that whatever you get her to do in terms of a certification - focus more on building a portfolio - as suggested above - use youtube courses / online courses which can be free - to build up examples... think about the industry she might wish to be in - would she want to photo editing / art boards for web / graphic design / illustration / etc. - then build up a portfolio of relevant examples...also worth noting that the industry will generally expect you to have a variety of linked / associated skills - so I would expect any photoshop user to also have illustrator and inDesign (poss also Lightroom) skills - it may be that they have stronger abilities in one than another, but most work we put through our company for print or design tends to be using a mix of each - in reality we are in and out of photoshop every day, but generally for quite small jobs - more complex work now tends to be illustrator, especially with the increased ability for web use of svg...

The thing is that course is just watching online videos. I guarantee you the stuff they show you is freely available on Youtube. Spend £13 on a colour profile white balance card for her photography.Udemy Photoshop training course that will take you from absolute beginner to proficient Photoshop user in no time at all

It's only £15 and the real benefit is that it's a full course presented in a structured way, so that's where it adds the value.Watching random youtube videos of various quality is certainly OK for learning about a specific thing/function in a hurry - we all do it - but it's not necessarily the best way to tackle a whole subject or product IMO.
