Accreditation
Autodesk Authorized Training Centres (ATC)
ATC Means Quality
Quality distinguishes Autodesk ATCs from any other training provider. ATC managers and instructors are given a great deal of support from Autodesk to ensure that your training experience exceeds expectations. Facilities are held to the highest standard so you enjoy a comfortable classroom setting with a workstation dedicated solely to you.
Autodesk Authorized Training Centers offer many benefits. Here a few of the most important ones:
- Experience quality that’s monitored and maintained for consistency by Autodesk
- Receive instruction that’s based on courseware from Autodesk
- Learn from highly qualified and knowledgeable instructors who are up-to-date on Autodesk’s latest technology
- Use dedicated workstations within state-of-the-art training facilities
- Get your hands on sample projects and exercises that emphasize real-world application
- Choose a class, at the most appropriate skill level, to meet your needs
- Meet at a time that’s convenient or sign up for custom, onsite training
- Earn a valuable certificate of completion that’s recognized in your profession
- Validate your product knowledge as an Autodesk Certified User or Autodesk Certified Expert when you take a certification exam at a participating ATC test delivery facility.
ATCs are certified by professional associations, including the American Institute of Architects (AIA).

ROI
The acquisition of knowledge is central to the competitive advantage of individuals and organizations in today's economy. If you’re still not convinced that training is the right step for your organization, consider these facts:
Higher Profit, Income and TSR
In a four-year study of over 2,500 firms by the American Society of Training and Development shows that investments in employee training predicate a company's financial future:
- Firms that spend $1,500 per employee in training compared to those that spend $125, experience on average 24% higher gross profit margins and 218% higher income per employee.
- An increase of $680 in a firm's training expenditures per employee generates, on average, a six percentage point improvement in Total Shareholder Return (TSR) in the following year.
Enhanced Employee Retention
A Louis Harris and Associate Poll states:
- Employees say if a company does not offer training or the training is poor, 41% leave within a year
- Employees say if a company offers excellent training, only 12% plan to leave
