I have been drawing in Vectorworks for well over a decade now, but my learning has mostly been self-guided and my foundation definitely has some gaps. I decided I should work my way through the Associate Certification on Vectorworks University to fill these gaps while I am between projects. However, the Associate Certification courses are all based in VW2021 it appears. Some of the topics revolve around information that is totally out-of-date. For example, there is a whole section on the snapping preferences that still refers to the floating snapping palette which has now moved to a permanent position in the lower right corner of the screen. Access to all the settings for this palette are not available via the path the videos refer to. This is the example that stands out mot in my mind, but I have noticed a couple of other instances where a menu or process in my software has not been the same in the example in the course video. I have a couple questions: Do the more advanced certifications also use the old software? I can work my way around any problems while watching some free videos on demand, but I have a hard time justifying spending money to attend a scheduled seminar and take a test if the information is not current. Is there a new version of the certification in the works? With all that said, I have always liked Vectorworks University. It has pulled me out of a lot of jams over the years. I have really enjoyed discovering all the elementary things that I never knew I could do and finding workflows that shave steps off of processes while working my way through the certification materials. I look forward to continuing to learn from it.

You can become AutoCad, Revit, 3DS Max etc. certified. You can even become certified in specific areas such as plumbing, electrics.... Are there any moves to create a VW certification? I think I asked this question a couple of years ago. Thanks
