CFAeX · For firms

Assess your team against your standards.

CFAeX builds custom Knowledge Assessments on your firm’s own standards and practices — evaluate the new hires you sourced yourself, or benchmark skills firm-wide across one office or many, in the cloud, at once. Then we connect you with vetted, Autodesk-certified trainers to close the gaps.

01 — Built on your standards

Measured against how you work.

Generic tests measure generic skills. We build an assessment around your CAD standards, templates, naming conventions, and workflows — so you’re measuring exactly what makes someone productive in your studio, not someone else’s.

It’s the difference between “can use Revit” and “can hit the ground running on our projects, the way we do them.”

02

Two ways firms use it.

Evaluate

Vet the hires you sourced

Found a candidate on your own? Run them through a CFAeX Knowledge Assessment on your standards before the offer — objective proof, not a gut call.

Benchmark

Skill-level your whole team

Evaluate skills firm-wide for training — one office or many, simultaneously, in the cloud. See exactly where to invest.

03 — Then, the trainers

We help you close the gaps.

An assessment tells you where the gaps are. We go further: we connect you with highly reputable, Autodesk-certified trainers from CFA’s network — relationships built over decades in the Autodesk world.

Decades reviewing real CAD output means we know how to evaluate yours — and who can help your team level up.

Scoping questions, answered

What does a custom firm assessment cost?

It’s scoped per engagement — the price depends on whether we’re building to your standards from scratch or configuring our standard exams for your team. Tell us the software, team size, and what you want measured, and we’ll quote it straight.

How long does a custom build take?

Typically two to three weeks from the day we receive your CAD standards, templates, and workflows.

What do you need from us to start?

The software and releases you run, your team size and offices, and your CAD standards or templates — the same details as the request email on this page.

Are our standards and our team’s results confidential?

Yes. Your standards stay yours, and your team’s results are reported to you alone.
