Software training across Canada

Autodesk 3ds Max training adapted to the actual level

45-question technical assessment drawn from a 72-question bank to place a learner in Autodesk 3ds Max and recommend the most useful training modules.

Autodesk 3ds Max diagnostic: practical skills, workflows and training priorities.

Approach

Build the path around observed needs

The free assessment helps separate concepts already mastered from those that deserve training. The final path can then be adjusted to the organization’s tasks, context and objectives.

The diagnostic is not an official certification. It is used to guide training decisions.

Intended audience

3D artists, visualization specialists and designers

Employees and professionals.
Managers and HR teams.
Training coordinators.
Groups to be organized by skill level.
