How to achieve certification

To earn your Simulation Developer Certification, you must successfully complete a structured curriculum designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of simulation development. The curriculum is divided into three essential steps, each focusing on different aspects of the field. Here is how you can fulfill the requirements:

1. Enroll in at least one course from each subject area

To ensure a well-rounded education, you must complete at least one course from each of the three curriculum steps. This approach guarantees that you gain expertise in parallel programming, performance optimization, hardware accelerators, visualization, and more.

You are required to complete a minimum of three courses as part of the certification curriculum.
