Criteria for Re-Certification for Previously Certified Instructors

Softimage will re-certify instructors who meet the necessary criteria on SOFTIMAGE|XSI 6.x. A Softimage Certified Instructor applicant must complete an application designed to assess product and industry knowledge. Upon receiving the application, a member of the Softimage Training Team will contact the applicant via email, and possibly conduct a telephone interview in order to assess eligibility. Candidates who meet the criteria will then receive access to Softimage Training content and the XSI 6.x exam.
