To : All those parties interested in ATC's Subject : New Pricing Policies for ATC's from Autodesk "Membership has its Advantages" Autodesk can not even be original about their slogan! Have any of you ATC guys looked closly at the new pricing policies that Autodesk LSG is implementing? Who came…
Nick, I just caught your response to the issue concerning the ACE. You bring up some good points concerning the quality of the instruction. One point you have made ws " Don't get me wrong, I am not referring to ATC's or those schools who really care (though those a…
Well Partner. . . . . .I did just that. According to DRAKE " There are currently 5 AutoCAD training sites. These are located in New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Arizona, and Washington State." They continued to state that other ACE sites are pending these sites getting the right…
Hey Wayne. Still have pulled the plug yet on my interest in this issue. I just got through talking to a person who is looking at the Novell certification program and He brought up an interesting point on their certification test. If I take all the courses that Novell requires…

Bill,
Bill Hopefully the data will be detailed enough to perform analysis? It also should be available as RAW data, not summarized and nor pastuerized. What I, and many others in the CAD world would like to view is: 1. Breakdown by geographic region, test site and date of testing. 2.…
As a member of the ACE Board, are you getting any statistics from Drake concerning the test? If so, does DRAKE keep demographics on the ACE? If not, why? If, everything is "being tracked. . .", then this information should be compliled for analysis, if it hasn't already been done…
Ken, BTW — I view it as a DIAGNOSTIC tool in evaluation and weeding of personnel. But it needs to be carefully integrated into the employee evaluation process. Practical application, good references and a portfolio contributes more weight in the selection process also! However, the examine does not take into…
I totally agree with your statement that the exam is a DIAGNOSTIC tool… specifically focused on one CAD package (i.e., AutoCAD). To me it should be only used as a diagnostic tool in weeding out individuals who don't have the knowledge of AutoCAD that you are testing for. But… what…
Wayne, Guess I'll have to be the one to put his head on the chopping block and ask all those "right angle questions" . PLEASE be kind to me! Steve
Bill What is it really about? Doesn't it act as a screen to employers for individuals who claim to be be an AutoCAD user? Isn't it being suggested that it serves as part of the mechanism to assist employers in making decisions in promotion from one level to another within…
Bill, My point is, that a high school of a two-year tech school student, who has spend considerable time working with AutoCAD over a period of time (hands on in a class room environment) could meet the criteria that you have just outlined and pass even the drawing problems. Give…
