Bangalore: To check the proficiency of design engineering students and professionals at an Autodesk Certification Center, U.S. based Auto desk, a 2D and 3D software designing firm unveils its Professional Certification program in India. These centers have been established at a number of leading Autodesk Authorised Training Centers (ATCs) across 135 locations in India.
The company is releasing two levels of certification - the Associate and Professional level. The Associate level certificate is a multiple-choice examination designed to establish whether an individual has learnt the basic common functionality of the software. The next stage is the Professional level examination which further tests the candidates ability to use the product effectively and efficiently under exam conditions. The Professional certificate exam is performance based requiring the candidate to use the software and manipulate design drawings to find answers to real-world questions, simulating the kind of work a designer would be expected to carry out. The certifications are currently being offered for Autodesk products in Architecture, Engineering, Construction (AEC) and Manufacturing domains, which includes AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD Revit Architecture Suite, Civil 3D and Autodesk Inventor Professional (AIP). Assessing the further plans of the firm in this regard, Norman Buckberry, EMEA Training Manager, Autodesk said, "In the future, we will expand our certification program to include higher levels of specialist exams for assessing a candidate's ability to perform tasks related to specialized applications of the software."
