What can the AutoCAD certification benefit a student?
“Because it is a college level exam that certifies that a student knows how to operate the Autodesk system software. This is a benefit because it can help take credits off for Drafting classes in college and provides a foundation for entry level AutoCAD industry and it can also help them make money. It also helps further their study in the Engineering and Architectural fields”. -Carlos, Acosta
