Probably wrong area to post, feel free to relocate it.

 

At the 2020 Winter Event it was stated there would be unlimited training access for 1K$ per year. And by course option at a rate of 100$ per hour where most courses are expected to be 3 hours. The courses are to be WebEx based with live instructors.

 

Second item being considered was two certifications, first being Fundamentals, basic commands. The second being Professional, certified in advanced commands and possibly badges in add-ons like sheetmetal. The certs would be for two years and maintained by PTC outside of this community.

 

Anyone have dates or better info on these two topics.

Both links worked fine and are on topic. Kudos for them.

 

Did pose the training method question to PTC U, and am looking forward to the reply.

 

The related topic only shows very low concern for tracking certification on what I call a time sensitive/perishable knowledge. The older the build the less the value, and if you don't use the knowledge it fades from memory. Who remembers how to use Pro-Fly-through. Was hoping to hear that PTC is going to start carrying certification to aid the non standard educated user.

Will now step off of the soap box.

 

But for an up comer trying to get it could be a discern-er to be certified in Sheet metal or Cabling.
