Build and accredit your additive manufacturing experience and expertise
Knowledge and proficiency in additive manufacturing are in high demand and short supply across many industries. Build your competence in additive technology to be successful in this still-growing manufacturing discipline through one of several Stratasys training programs. Successful completion will earn you a Stratasys Academy Certification, signifying your capabilities in additive manufacturing verified by an industry leader.
Anyone is eligible for these courses, but 3D printing operators, engineers, and designers whose roles interface in some way with additive technology will benefit the most.
Why It’s Important
Expanding your knowledge through certified additive manufacturing training programs offers multiple benefits. At an operator level, you’ll gain knowledge and skills to help you better manage day-to-day 3D printing tasks, maintain and troubleshoot the equipment, increase productivity, and minimize downtime. As a skilled operator, you also become more valuable to your organization.
With greater insight into 3D printing operations, engineers and designers can enhance their design capabilities and problem-solving skills to leverage the benefits of additive technology. This ultimately helps improve product designs and manufacturing efficiency.
Leverage Your Accreditation
Once you complete a course and receive your Stratasys digital certificate, it’s now time to display your achievements. These digital badges provide verifiable evidence that you’ve attained knowledge in a particular 3D printing curriculum. They can be posted on career social media, email signatures, and other digital platforms to highlight and leverage your capabilities.
All Stratasys digital badges are administered through Credly®, a leader in digital credentialing. Through Credly®, your digital certificate contains the information and metadata associated with your training and learning outcome.
