Certification overseas

[dalsgaardsarah]

Hey Guys. 

I am trying desperately to get an AutoCad certification, but i am overseas, and Autodesk only suggests Certiport. Which can only be used in the US. 

I have a VPN , but ist an expensive chance to take in case its not enough. HELP please. What do i do?

contact a local ATC to see if they offer certification as part of their services. They also use Certiport but they will know their setup and they can help you with preparation if necessary.

Certiport has 'Solution Providers' outside of the US. have you checked these lists?

Trouble is that local people and local sites are in the local language. 

I live in a small town in germany, but i dont speak german.

I just wanna take the certificate online, like everybody else in America. Is that really not possible?!

A certification with an atc is still online and in english, the atc provides the access and workstation

The link you provided lets me choose city and state? Not country. 

The other link lets me choose country but the only one in germany is in Kassel, and the website doesn't have an English option.

When i type in Hamburg, and choose Training Center theres only a "clear" button, which deletes everything. Not an okay or next button?

Finally got it to work. 

Thank you.

I believe Graitec is located in Hamburg, although I must remark that for CAD job opportunities in Europe, having an Autodesk certification is not really necessary.

Yes ive heard. 

But my competitors in the industry i have chosen to pursuit, have industry relevant degrees, which i dont. So i would like to have something i can show off, and have the badge on LinkedIn n such 😊 For me its also an accomplishment.  Not just for work. The small successes in life is just as important for me.
