Mindware, a leading value-added distributor in the Middle East and Africa, has signed an agreement with Autodesk to deliver official Autodesk-certified training programs across key markets in the region. The partnership formally designates Mindware as an Autodesk Authorized Training Center (ATC), allowing it to provide instructor-led training and conduct accredited certification exams in line with Autodesk’s global standards.
As an ATC, Mindware will deliver hands-on training across architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, and design disciplines. The initial rollout will cover markets including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco, with plans to expand into Sub-Saharan Africa. The training portfolio will include Autodesk solutions such as AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, Infraworks, Inventor, Fusion 360, 3ds Max, and Autodesk Construction Cloud.
Training will be delivered through a hybrid model combining in-person sessions at Mindware’s regional training centers with virtual instructor-led classes. All programs will use official Autodesk courseware, digital labs, and standardized assessment methods, with instructors undergoing Autodesk’s formal accreditation process.
Mindware said the agreement supports its broader strategy to bridge the digital skills gap and strengthen professional development across the region. The company also plans to expand its education portfolio to include additional vendor-certified programs in cloud computing, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and data analytics.
Autodesk said the collaboration will help expand access to globally recognized digital design and engineering skills across emerging markets, supporting enterprises, professionals, and partners as industries accelerate technology adoption.
