On these new pages customers are able to submit training and development queries using a form, resulting in leads that will be provided to our AAP Partners.

THE EVENTSMANAGEMENT SYSTEM*The Events Management System (GEMS**) allows you as a Program member to publish and promote your courses and events on the official Autodesk Event webpages (many of which are availablein local languages).

Entering your course details helps you improve visibility of your training siteand promote the courses you deliver.

InstructorDevelopmentEnsure yourinstructors are up to date and certifiedThe Autodesk Instructor Development Portal (IDP) is a great resource made available to Autodesk authorized instructors only.

Add value through Autodesk Product Certification

As an Autodesk Education partner you will be recognized as providing industry leading training solutions to individuals in commercial, government and academic institutions across the markets you serve.

By expanding into the certification market as a Certiport Authorized Testing Center (CATC) you will be able to extend your offer with globally recognized certification programs to all of your customers. The increasing demand for Autodesk product certification and a growing portfolio of exams available, makes this the perfect time to differentiate yourself from your competition when becoming a total solutions provider.

There are currently two levels of certification available, the Autodesk Certified User (ACU) and the Autodesk Certified Professional (ACP) exams.

Autodesk Certified User(ACU) ExamThe Certified User exam is designed for students who are relatively new to Autodesk software and includes multiple-choice and performance based questions. Before taking the Certified User exam, students should have a minimum of 50 hours of hands-on experience with the software.

Autodesk Certified Professional (ACP) ExamThe Certified Professional exam verifies a full and complete understanding of the Autodesk product. Questions include creation and editing of data files, multiple choice, matching and point-and-click. Before taking the Certified Professional exam your customer is recommended to complete a course and get 400 hours of hands-on experience with the software.

If successful with your exam you will be awarded a digital badge, which can be attached to your social media accounts or online documentation such as a CV and/or email. This allows you to share your skills online in a way that is simple,trusted and easilyverified. You can alsobuild credibility, and highlight your achievement, by listing your name in the Autodesk Certified Professionals database (ACU and ACP).

Certification

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS

• Prepare students and customers using GMetrix ACU & ACP Practice Tests

• Enhance confidence in certification by offering the retake option, giving the security of a free resit should a certification exam be failed

• Non-native English language speakers can request exam time extensions

Why Certification?When discussing the purpose of Professional certification, industry partners identified recruitment as the greatest advantage. Being able to determine that someone has the necessary skills to fill a technical role is invaluable, and applicants may believe themselves to be more expert than they necessarily are – their past roles being focused on niche aspects of the software. An Autodesk certification will captivate and clearly demonstrate your customers’ abilities to their target audience, allowing them to get ahead and stay ahead.

Research also shows*…• 56% of IT professionals said they were able to perform their jobs better and more efficiently after obtaining a certification

• 30% of said they received a salary increase of up to 20% upon earning their certification

• 65% reported a measurable, positive impact on their professional image after becoming certified
