BIM Specialist Certification

Autodesk has announced a new certification program that is based on a workflow.  The certification is called Roads and Highways Workflows using the 2014 Infrastructure Design suite.  Autodesk has been certifying users on individual products for quite some time, but this is something new.  The exam itself is broken down into the following topics:

• Project Planning
• Preliminary Design
• Detailed Design
• Visual Communication

The following are a sample of some of the objectives that may be tested during the certification exam:

• Create a storyboard
• Select a road style
• Create a proposal
• Import the .imx file into Civil 3D
• Create the initial corridor
• Preform clash detection
• Calculate cut/fill
• Render Images

Here is where you can find a complete list of objectives for the exam.  The exam will focus on such programs  as Civil 3D, Navisworks, 3Ds Max and various other products.

A book has been created by Ascent which matches the name of the certification and can be used for preparing for the exam. Information for taking an exam at one of our facilities can be found at the following Advanced Solutions link.
