Design professionals get a second shot at Autodesk certification

Autodesk EMEA education and training distributor, KnowledgePoint, has announced a new “Second Shot” offer for design professionals. Under the terms of the latest offer, anybody who takes and fails an Autodesk Associate or Professional Certification exam will receive a totally free re-sit.

The latest Second Shot campaign offer is available from 1 December 2011 to 31 January 2012. It is already proving a great success, with over 50% more Autodesk Authorised Training Centres (ATCs) taking part in this campaign compared to the previous Second Shot initiative in the Summer.
