how to judge your progress??

[expaddy]

I have been playing with autocad and mechanical desktop for a while now but recently have seriously started to study autocad with the help of "an introduction to autocad" by A. Yarwood. I have found it pretty easy and was wondering is there a way I can determine my progress or take any tests to let me know how I am doing. Are there any serious exercises to get my teeth into?? Engineering only not arc. BTW hi all loads of info here :)

Autodesk have a certificate system where you pay them $100.00 (approx.) and you site an online test. if you pass you will be issued a certificate. there are different levels to the program.

check out the autodesk website.

Thats good to know. Are the certs recognised by industry?

Anyone got any ideas as to exactly what you should put in a portfolio to impress employers?

Is it better to be qualified in more than 1 program ie solidworks?

Any help appreciated folks :)

AFAIK, Its an autodesk certification only, but would still look good in a resume.
