Getting Certified

To earn Autodesk Certification, you'll need to pass an Autodesk certification exam or a series of exams and follow some simple steps.

Step 1. Choose the certification that's right for you.

There can be more than one certification level offered for specific Autodesk products. Review the certifications available by product, pick the level that is right for you and learn what skills you need to pass the certification you would like to earn by reading the exam guide for your test.

Step 2. Assess your readiness.

After you’ve chosen the certification and learned what to expect on your exam, validate your readiness by taking an Autodesk proficiency or assessment exam. These examinations are online tests consisting of 40 to 50 questions that assess your knowledge of the tools, features and common tasks in the specific Autodesk application.

Step 3. Get the training you need.

Autodesk offers a variety of training products to complement your learning style, including Autodesk Official Training Courseware developed to help users of Autodesk software improve their productivity. These courseware guides are used by Authorised Training Centres and are 100 percent aligned to the certification exams. courses from Authorised Training Centres (ATC).

Step 4. Apply your training and practice your skills.
