La certification TOSA® atteste pour une durée de 3 ans des compétences de l’apprenant sur une échelle de 1 000 points. Le diplôme TOSA® est envoyé si le score de l’apprenant est supérieur à 551 points. Une fois l’examen réalisé, l’apprenant peut consulter en direct ses résultats et reçoit par e-mail une attestation, une restitution détaillée de ses compétences ainsi que son diplôme sous 5 jours. L’examen dure 1 H 00 et se présente sous la forme de 35 exercices alternant entre des manipulations sur le logiciel et des QCM, dont la difficulté s’adapte selon les réponses de l’apprenant. Sans demande spécifique, il est dispensé par défaut en français et sur la version logicielle la plus récente. La surveillance est faite par un logiciel et est enregistrée à des fins de contrôle de conformité.
The certification option comes in the form of a voucher or invitation that will allow you to take the exam at the end of the training course.

Luis Miguel has an excellent command of his subject. Despite having spent almost two years working in the Autocad 3D environment, Luis Miguel presented and explained a large number of functions and settings which made me realise that I hadn't mastered Autocad 3D as much as I thought I had. Luis Miguel is a very good teacher and knows how to establish a climate of trust and relaxation so that the training goes well, all the more so when it involves a great deal of theory.
