Table 1: Certified Associate Exam Objectives and ASCENT courseware mapping reference AUTOCAD 2012 COURSEWARE ASCENT offers the following Autodesk Official Training Guide to help AutoCAD users prepare for the Autodesk AutoCAD Certification exams: AutoCAD/AutoCAD LT 2012 Fundamentals The objective of this course is to enable students to create a basic 2D drawing in AutoCAD. To make the process easier and provide flexibility for instructors and students, the course is divided into two parts that can be taken independently: Part 1: covers the essential core topics for working with AutoCAD. The guide enables students to create and edit a simple drawing, and then continue to develop these skills. Not every command or option is covered, because the intent is to show the most essential tools and concepts. Part 2: continues with more sophisticated techniques that extend your mastery of the program. For example, go beyond the basic skill of inserting a block to learning how to create blocks, and beyond the basic skill of using a template to understand the process of setting up a template.
