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

drafters, technicians and CAD professionals

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