Being an Autodesk AutoCAD Certified Professional

“

- [Shaun Bryant] So why become an AutoCAD certified professional? Well, the whole idea of having that qualification after you've taken the exam is that you're adhering to a certain benchmark. A certain level of competency with AutoCAD. So a prospective employer can look at your resume and go, "Ah, they've got AutoCAD certified professional. "I know that I can put them in front of AutoCAD "in the CAD office and they can hit the ground running." That's the idea. Now, the AutoCAD certified professional exam obviously has certain topics and subjects that you need to study. So the whole idea of this course is to get you into those topics, those domains that you need to cover, to make sure that you've got that level of background knowledge of that functionality of AutoCAD to take the exam. Now, the other thing about this particular exam is being a certified professional gives you a certain level of kudos as well in the AutoCAD world, because it means you know what you're doing. You know how to drive AutoCAD. It's a bit like taking your driving examination. Once you've passed your driving examination, you can go off and drive a car. It's a bit like that. Once you've passed your AutoCAD certified professional exam, you can go off and drive AutoCAD. That's exactly how it works. That's the premise. So that's why you would become an AutoCAD certified professional. And I hope as you follow through this course, and follow the topics that it generates a level of knowledge that you can utilize to work towards passing your AutoCAD certified professional exam.
