AutoCAD Certification is offered by a company called Autodesk, which develops the AutoCAD software that produces AutoCAD designs and drawings. An AutoCAD User and AutoCAD Certified Professional are two different routes for learning the software, one teaches basic principles and the other prepares students to pass the series of Autodesk Certification Exams. The cost of the AutoCAD Certification Exam depends on which program you chose and the location of your certification exam. The certification exam will cost at least $200 USD. Your training provider may offer a discount on exam costs by completing their coursework as well.
