My Experience with the ACP in Civil 3D for Infrastructure Design Exam Civil 3D stands as a leading BIM authoring and design tool for infrastructure projects, widely recognized for its comprehensive suite of engineering design and modelling tools. Mastery of Civil 3D is crucial due to its integral role in the horizontal construction projects. # Exam Overview: The difficulty level of the exam is quite manageable, particularly when compared to the Revit and AutoCAD exams. Despite my substantial experience with both Revit and AutoCAD, I found their exams to be more challenging. Remarkably, I completed the Civil 3D exam 30 minutes ahead of time! The exam came with 49 questions, which is less than the usual more or less 60 questions seen in the Revits and AutoCAD exams. # Preparation Resources: *Autodesk Resources: 1- Help Functionality: Accessible via the help button or the F1 key directly within the Civil 3D software itself. This tool provides detailed, comprehensive information about every feature and tool of Civil 3D. 2- Exam Preparation Course: This high-quality, free course available on the Autodesk website covers all exam topics comprehensively. You only need an Autodesk account to access this resource, along with additional free courses and lessons available on the site. *Other Valuable Courses: 1- Eric Chappell;s Course: This excellent course is specifically designed for exam preparation, closely aligning with the exam objectives. It features clear explanations with a clear English accent, making it ideal even for those with intermediate English proficiency. The course is available in LinkedIn Learning: https://lnkd.in/dQAMXk38 2- Hisham Fawzy’s Course: Although not directly aligned with the exam objectives, this course offers deep insights into the Civil 3D program, teaching advanced skills and uncovering lesser-known features of Civil 3D. It comes highly recommended for both intermediate and advanced experience in Civil 3D. The course available in Hisham Fawzy's YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/gT9rXQUS # My Advice: I strongly urge civil and surveying engineers to pursue this certification, particularly in light of the current shortage of BIM experts skilled in Civil 3D within the Saudi market. Achieving this certification not only validates your proficiency with the program but also marks the beginning of a promising path in the horizontal construction projects. Thank you Autodesk Thank you Eric Chappell Thank you Hisham Fawzy

---- Responsibilities --- - Management: Signing deliverable completion forms. - Management/Technical: Reviewing and approving MIDP (Master Information Delivery Plan). - Management: Reviewing and approving the P6 schedule at the management level. - Technical/Management: Providing high-level technical comments in the OCS to ensure alignment with the approved scope of work. - Management: Preparing and presenting numerous reports and presentations to higher management. - Management/Technical: Preparing lessons learned and sharing them with the team. - Management: Lead the weekly progress meeting with the consultants to ensure alignment with the approved baseline schedule. As a Technical Manager I feel, my role demands less technical expertise and more focus on management and communication skills. What do you think?
