How it works

Study the tutorials

The nine FrameDesigner tutorials are the syllabus. Everything on the exam is covered there.

Answer the written questions

Twenty multiple-choice questions drawn at random and balanced across topics, so no two exams are the same.

Build the practical task

Construct a specified frame in FrameDesigner and submit it. Your geometry is scored against the brief automatically.

Why it is worth having

The practical half cannot be guessed. You have to build real geometry to a written specification and have it measured against that specification, which is a considerably harder thing to fake than a multiple-choice test.
