Clarification—Channel News Announcement regarding upcoming Autodesk Learning Partner Certification Distribution Pilot

Yesterday we announced the Autodesk Learning Partner Certification Distribution Pilot, which begins on November 1, 2021. The intent of this Pilot is to test a bulk certification exam voucher program managed by our Learning Partner Distributors, and to better understand how to deliver vouchers in bulk to Learning Partners and Education Customers.

Please review the following questions from Learning Partners, and our response. You can share our responses with your Learning Partners.

Is our Learning Partner Distributor point of contact changing, is Autodesk assigning us a new Distributor?
No. Autodesk did not change Distributor territories. Your Learning Partner staff will continue to work with the Distributor currently managing your Learning Partner business.

Can we purchase certification exam vouchers in bulk from a Distributor participating in the Pilot, even if they are not our current Distributor?
No, Distributors participating in this Pilot are only permitted to fulfill orders within their Territory. We intend to expand to additional territories in 2022.
