Hagerman is proud to announce that we are a "Testing
Center" for the
Certified Expert Program which launched to customers on
February 2, 2004. Individuals can register by contacting
your local Hagerman office to take a Certified Expert Exam ($495) and
choose a location and pre-scheduled date.
The following Hagerman offices are
registered as testing centers:
The exam is not easy and there is a time limit
of four hours to complete and the fastest time during the
inaugural test was just over two hours. Once a user has accessed
and downloaded the exam, an imbedded timer will monitor the
allotted time limit. Users are permitted to bring clean blank
paper and pen or pencil to the workstation for use during the
test. All papers brought into the testing center must be
surrendered upon completion of the exam. Each Hagerman testing
facility will provide you with a computer with internet access
for you to take the exam on and another computer, properly
configured, with Inventor installed.
Those who pass the exam are considered Certified Experts. The exam
consists of 100 questions and is aimed at users with typically
more than 500 hours of experience. As certification must be
renewed with each new software release, a shorter renewal exam
focuses on new features and functionality of the latest version
of Autodesk Inventor or Architectural Desktop software.
Benefits graduates will receive include:
- Expert status—Graduates
will be provided with a certification logo for use on business
cards, résumés, letterhead, etc., and an official printed
certificate suitable for framing.
- Improved career mobility—Graduates
may opt for having their contact information included in
Autodesk’s database that will be publicly accessible from
www.autodesk.com/inventorcertified. It is an excellent way
of immediately demonstrating user certification status to
prospective employers who will have access to the database.
- Skills assessment—Whether
or not users pass the exam, they will receive immediate
diagnostic feedback about how they need to improve their
Autodesk Inventor skills so they are more aware of their
strengths and weaknesses and better prepared to retake the test.
