If memory serves, the way it works is you buy the actual seats from the Autodesk website, and the "voucher" you get is good forever.

Then, once you have purchased your seats, you have to schedule the actual exam with an Autodesk Authorized Training Center in your area, and they will actually administer the test.

I recommend you take the class that Matt Murphy gives on the Certifications at AU2008 -- no guarantees, but last year the people who attended that class got a discount on the price of the actual exam (including discounts on study materials), on top of a little insight into how the tests are formatted.

I would recommend also that if you take the examination, take AutoCAD 2007 first, then recertify on 2008 or 2009. That's the advice I was given, on account of the formatting of the actual test changed with 2008.

Hope this helps! :beer:

Dear Jim,

Sorry for the late reply i was out of station, thanks a lots for your information is it in that way the certification is not possible to get while i am in AU 2008?. i thought of in that way will register there itself and will pay the exam / purchased the seats and i can conduct the test in same place. unfortunately i dont think so there is any certified ATC, in this zone,

Yes will attend Mr. Matt murphy class as well to know more about this, but my intetion is not to waste my time as iam there only for a week time is for AU 2008, and would like to achieve something in for my carrier development.

Again Thanks a lots

I really don't know if they will have the exams available to take at AU2008; that's a good question.

Usually it's the resellers that administer it...

Sorry I can't be more help but I'll see what I can find out.

I will check into this, but last year I am positive they had certification available.
If I remember correctly, it was off-site.

Anyone else remember this?

You can always start up a local chapter. Then you can gather peers, make some business contacts and friends. If you are successful, your group may grow beyond a local chapter and you could forge ahead eventually becoming a national or regional chapter.

Anyone else from the Pearl of the Orient Seas want to meet up with reagan_rl03?

there is a voucher for a free certification exam available on the AU website. visit the special offers and promotions area of Autodesk au online.

http://au.autodesk.com/event/special_offers_and_promos/

Look for "Free Autodesk Certification for all attendess or something like that..."
