Yes. ACP exams can be taken online via Pearson OnVUE with live proctoring, or in person at an authorised Pearson Testing Centre. You must provide photo ID before testing begins.
Exam pricing varies by region and is subject to change. Beta exams are available for $35 USD. For current standard pricing, check the Autodesk certification website or Pearson VUE directly. Bulk vouchers are available through Autodesk Learning Partners for corporate and institutional candidates.
For most AEC professionals, yes. Certification delivers measurable salary advantages, enhanced employer credibility, and faster career advancement, particularly for professionals targeting mid-level and senior BIM roles where credentials are increasingly listed as requirements rather than preferences.
ACU is entry-level for beginners, administered via Certiport. ACP is advanced, requiring 400–1,200 hours of real-world experience, administered via Pearson VUE. ACP carries significantly more employer weight and is preferred for mid-level to senior BIM roles.
The ACP in Revit for Architectural Design is the top choice. It validates advanced modelling, documentation, worksharing, and coordination skills — exactly what employers seek in architectural BIM roles. The exam was updated in December 2024 to reflect current Revit workflows.
Most candidates spend 4–8 weeks preparing using Autodesk's official prep course, practice exams, and SDC Publications study guides. Professionals with 400+ hours of active Revit experience typically require less preparation time than those with limited recent usage.
