ASCENT unveils 2020 Autodesk Courseware roadmap

By Leave a Comment

In conjunction with the Autodesk 2020 software releases, ASCENT Center for Technical Knowledge has released its fundamental guides for the core software titles: AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Inventor and Revit. As an Autodesk Authorized Publisher, ASCENT has also published their 2020 Courseware Roadmap that includes over 60 titles planned for release throughout 2019.

 

“While our team is known for our off-the-shelf, comprehensive Autodesk courseware, we also see many design engineering firms request help creating custom documentation,” says Paul Burden, director of product development for ASCENT. “Users can quickly become productive when learning from blended content consisting of reference, video, and project elements that reflects their unique in-house workflows and processes. In addition, many of our Autodesk Training Center customers and Academic clients benefit from courseware assembled from our extensive library of learning modules. Using bespoke collections of our standard modules enables them to offer a roster of differentiated classes giving students unique learning experiences and varied course options.”

Autodesk 2020 Learning Guides Now Available from ASCENT:

ASCENT’s offerings include learning materials for students, instructors, professionals and individuals, designed for self-paced learning, instructor-led training, and on-the-job reference. Learning Guides include practice exercises and, in applicable guides, Autodesk Certification Objectives to help those preparing for Autodesk Professional Certification Exams. Instructor Guides contain the same instructional content as a Learning Guide, plus include answers to the chapter review questions, timing suggestions to help deliver the course, and instructor presentation files.
