The SDS2 Instructor Certification is intended to demonstrate advanced technical knowledge of SDS2. This certification ensures not only that the holder has the knowledge of SDS2 features and processes to complete projects, but also to teach SDS2 to less experienced users. Holders of this certification can be expected to have a broad understanding of the features and processes of SDS2, and to act as resources to train and mentor other SDS2 users. Holders of this certification are qualified to deliver SDS2 instruction up to and including Knowledge Level 3 (i.e., programs designed to teach the skills required to earn the SDS2 Power User Certification). This certification does not evaluate the understanding of advanced workflows and techniques for specialized uses of SDS2 (e.g., in-house detailers for steel fabricators or miscellaneous metals detailers).

This certification exam evaluates only the examinee’s technical knowledge of the solution indicated above; it does not evaluate the examinee’s ability to teach, deliver training, or design training content.
