HOBOKEN, N.J. — May 27, 2026 — Pearson (FTSE: PSON.L), the world’s lifelong learning company, is pleased to announce that Autodesk Certified User and Professional certifications have been officially listed under the GI Bill® license and certification reimbursement program. This milestone enables veterans, their spouses, and dependents to receive reimbursement for exam fees, making industry-recognized credentials more accessible for those who have served the United States and their families.
Autodesk certification programs validate essential skills in design, engineering, and digital modeling. Through Pearson Professional Centers, Certiport testing centers, and testing centers affiliated with Pearson authorized testing centers, candidates can demonstrate proficiency in Autodesk software such as AutoCAD, Revit, and Fusion, building credentials that are respected by employers globally.
Krista Ketchmark, executive partner, Pearson Professional Assessments, said, “Pearson is proud to support veterans and their families by providing access to valued certifications. Listing Autodesk Certified User and Professional credentials under the GI Bill® program demonstrates our commitment to creating pathways for skill development and career advancement for those who have served.”
The GI Bill® reimbursement program offers eligible candidates the ability to claim the cost of certification exams. All Autodesk Certified User and Professional certifications are now listed for GI Bill® reimbursement, helping veterans and their families advance their skills and careers with trusted, industry-standard qualifications.
Jeff Kinder, executive vice president, Product Development and Manufacturing Solutions at Autodesk, added, “Many veterans bring the discipline and technical aptitude that employers are looking for to the workforce. At Autodesk, we want to make it easier to build on those strengths with credentials that can help support the transition in high-demand, design and make fields.”
Veterans, spouses, and dependents may use U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) education benefits to cover exam fees, subject to eligibility criteria. For more information about the GI Bill® license and certification reimbursement, please visit the official VA website.
