CREDENTIALS, EXPLAINED

Know what your credential means.

Training and certification are not the same thing. We believe every learner should know exactly what a credential represents.

THREE DISTINCT PATHS

Clarity comes first.

Here's how to understand different engineering software credentials without the confusing fine print.

Vendor-issued certifications

Formal credentials issued by a software vendor or its designated certification body, generally after a separate assessment. DMN does not issue vendor certifications or imply that a course automatically awards one.

Authorized vendor training

Training delivered with official authorization from a software vendor. This designation only applies when a specific, active authorization is confirmed. No such relationship is claimed here.

DMN course completion

A DMN-issued record of completing a DMN course, when offered and upon satisfying its stated requirements. It is not a vendor credential and does not replace a vendor examination.

Important: No vendor authorization or certification partnership is implied. Ask us about the exact credential, issuing body and eligibility for any course before you enroll.
A SMARTER WAY FORWARD

Train with intention. Verify with confidence.

Different careers call for different proof of capability. Practical project work can demonstrate what you know; independent vendor credentials, where relevant, can validate specific software proficiency.

DMN’s longer-term vision includes exploring vendor collaborations and authorized pathways. Any future arrangements will be identified clearly and only once confirmed.

Before choosing a course, ask:
  1. 01 / Who issues the credential?
  2. 02 / Is an independent exam required?
  3. 03 / What project work will I complete?
