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.”

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.
