Whether you choose a Certified Pathway or an Upskill Pathway, you’ll follow a structured learning journey designed to help you achieve your goals with confidence.
Your pathway starts here…
There are two pathway types to suit your goals and career development.
Exam ready.
Industry recognized.
Build skills.
Advance your career.
The Computer-Aided Design: Inventor Pathway builds skills in Autodesk AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor for creating technical drawings and 3D models. In about 2 months, learners complete hands-on labs and projects for real CAD work. Choose the learning path that fits your goals: Upskill learning path for rapid job-ready skills or Certified learning path for credentials with exam preparation and vouchers.

Certified
UpskillÂ
Most Learning Academy pathways come in two versions, called learning paths: Upskill and Certified. Both cover the same subject and draw on the same course library. The difference is what comes with the training and what you finish with.
The Upskill path builds job-ready skills. You get the full set of courses for the subject, hands-on labs, and practical projects—the training itself, without exam materials.
The Certified path includes the Upskill training and adds what you need to earn the credential: exam preparation materials and a voucher for the certification exam.
Start with the outcome. If you need the certificate itself—because a posting asks for it, a client requires it, or your employer reimburses it—choose Certified. If you need the skills and the credential is optional, Upskill costs less and takes less time, and you can pursue certification later.
Not every subject has both versions available. Where only one path appears on a product page, that is the only version offered for that subject.

The Computer-Aided Design: Inventor Pathway helps students and career changers develop practical CAD skills using Autodesk AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor. Through guided lessons, labs, and project work, learners practice how to design, model, and document parts and assemblies with confidence.
Graduates often pursue roles such as CAD Specialist, CAD Technician, or CNC Programmer in manufacturing and engineering environments.
No. The pathway starts with AutoCAD basics and builds step by step into Inventor modeling and documentation.
The instructional plan is designed for about 2 months. Learners in the Certified learning path should plan extra time for exam prep and scheduling.
Coursework centers on Autodesk AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor with videos, labs, assessments, and project work.
Yes. You will create drawings, parametric parts, and assemblies, then produce drawings with dimensions and annotations.
Students and counselors can review additional creative learning journeys on our Video & Graphic Design Pathway page.
