Autodesk certification exams

Autodesk user-level and professional-level exams in AutoCAD, Revit, 3ds Max, AutoCAD Civil 3D, Fusion 360, Inventor and Maya.

The design and visualisation industries are competitive environments. Gaining ‘Autodesk-certified’ status in an Autodesk application provides you with an industry-recognised credential that provides enhanced credibility and accelerated professional development.

In a recent survey conducted by Autodesk, the vast majority of respondents (77%) believe that professional certification gives them an advantage in the job market. Some 67% had either been asked for certification when applying for a job or thought it likely in the future, and 35% said that their company had been asked for proof of individual skills or qualifications when it bid for work.

Autodesk certification exams are available at two levels:

• Autodesk Certified User (ACU): entry level exam covering the fundamental concepts and procedures.
