The ACP-01201 exam — officially the Autodesk Certified Professional: Inventor for Mechanical Design — is Autodesk's certification test for professionals working with its technologies, and passing it earns the Autodesk Other Certification certification at the Professional level. Because it is vendor-issued and skills-based, employers can compare candidates on it directly — that is what keeps it valuable. It also connects naturally to Autodesk Certified User: Inventor, Autodesk Certified Professional: AutoCAD for Design and Drafting.
