software skills are a great
asset in both the academic and
professional arenas. Skills and
knowledge to use state-of-theart Autodesk design software
such as AutoCAD, Inventor, Revit,
Maya, 3DS Max, and Fusion
360, along with the Autodesk
Certified User certification
give students a significant
advantage in achieving
college or career success.

Autodesk Certified User (ACU) is
an industry-recognized credential
that can help designers, engineers, and makers succeed
at any stage of their career.
As more and more industries
experience a skills gap as they
hire new talent, the Autodesk
Certifed User certification
provides a reliable validation
of skills and knowledge. An
official certification from
Autodesk can lead to enhanced
academic success, accelerated
professional development,
improved productivity and
increased credibility.

ACU certification is an excellent
way for students with about 150
hours of real-world Autodesk
software experience to validate
their software skills. Earning
the User-level certifications
while in school gives students
confidence as they continue to
master Autodesk products and
pursue the Professional-level
certifications in the future.

from Autodesk that the recipient has the
know-how and skills to succeed in today’s
job market.
The certification is awarded based on
the individual’s performance on either
the project-based exam, where exam
candidates are required to work through
the questions directly in the Autodesk
applications, or the ACU in Fusion
360 selective response exam where candidates answer questions directly
tied to their knowledge of the software.

and education.

following programs.

- AUTODESK Auto CAD
- AUTODESK Fusion 360
- AUTODESK Inventor
- AUTODESK Maya
- AUTODESK Revit
The Autodesk certification exams are
not based on a specific yearly release,
but instead are based on a series of
fundamental tasks and questions
that are not release specific. You will
not need to order exams of a specific
release to match the software release
in your lab. The exams will work with
the three latest software releases of
the Autodesk software.
To earn the certification, an
individual must pass an examination
administered through a Certified
Authorized Testing Center (CATC).
Each Autodesk certification exam
corresponds to a particular Autodesk
software application used for design
and represents a single certification.
All Autodesk exams are created with
input from Autodesk subject-matter
experts and are psychometrically
validated. The scenario-based
questions provide real-world context
for individuals.
Autodesk certification exams validate
an exam candidate’s knowledge and
skill within scenario-based contexts via
two question types:
- Live-in-the-Application questions: These questions require the candidate to complete a task or perform a function within the Autodesk application.
- Linear-based questions: These questions include traditional true/ false, multiple choice or matching formats.
The exam objectives for the current
Autodesk certification exams are listed
on Certiport’s website at
www.certiport.com/autodesk.
