Inspire Professional Certification
Altair's Inspire Professional Certification gives learners the chance to be recognized for their knowledge and capability with specific modular functions of the Inspire software.
You draw from your own experience with the software as well as the learning resources available through Altair to complete the certification.
The certification program is structured in two parts:
- a multiple-choice examination and
- a task-based examination that must be completed in the Inspire software.
