3DEXPERIENCE Certification for V6

The 3DEXPERIENCE certification exams for V6 currently cover V6 Foundations and the major brand domains and products offered in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. They are available to our customers and academics users, channel and services partners.

As a general rule, two release levels are provided to match customers and academics environment. In addition, as for the Companion courses that are recommended for preparation, exams are translated in different languages, such as Japanese and Korean.

Our V6 exams, at the Specialist level, consist of 50-75 challenging multiple choice questions delivered in a secure proctored testing environment at any Pearson VUE site. You will have 75 minutes to complete each exam, plus 15 additional minutes if not available in the local language. Candidates need to achieve a total equal or above the minimum passing score on the exams to pass.  

Later, to show that you are a 3DEXPERIENCE Brand Domain Specialist, you can retrieve your certificate from a dedicated portal.

Taking the exams requires preparation and three to six months of practical experience of the products. The expected level for 'Specialist' exams is to have one to six months of regular practice.
