NVIDIA will host an online webinar on November 19, 2026, to present its updated certification roadmap and new NVIDIA Certified Associate certifications. The session, listed on the company’s webinar portal, is aimed at developers, infrastructure professionals, students, and technical managers. The page lists the start time as 09:00 PST in one place and 09:00 CET in another, so the time should be confirmed on the registration page.
Which certifications will be introduced?
The webinar will cover two new NVIDIA Certified Associate certifications: AI Model and App Development and AI Power & Cooling. According to NVIDIA, the session will also discuss how the updated certification framework aligns with roles in AI, application development, infrastructure, networking, and data center operations.
The goal is to help attendees identify certification paths that fit their roles, technical interests, and career or team goals. The program will also explain how new practice tests for selected associate-level exams can support preparation. Expert guidance on exam formats and a live Q&A session are also among the topics listed in the announcement.
What benefit is offered to attendees?
NVIDIA says webinar attendees will receive a 50% discount code that can be used toward a NVIDIA certification exam. The announcement does not specify which exams the code applies to or provide details about its terms of use. The discount should therefore not be interpreted as an offer valid for all exams; attendees should check the information provided during the event and the exam conditions to confirm its scope.
The source page does not list a fee for the webinar itself. Similarly, the exam fees and dates for the new certifications have not been announced. For details about registration, access, and participation requirements, refer to the latest information on NVIDIA’s event page.
What does this mean for architecture and visualization teams?
The session is not presented as training specifically for architecture software, render engines, or architectural visualization workflows. However, it may give technical teams interested in AI applications and infrastructure a chance to learn about certification options and exam preparation tools. Teams developing AI applications in-house or planning technical skills development may find the role-based certification guidance useful.
For architecture firms and visualization studios, the decision to attend depends on how closely the certification topics relate to their current work. The announcement does not specify any particular architecture software, GPU, hardware requirements, or licensing compatibility; therefore, it does not establish that the webinar will directly benefit a specific visualization system. Anyone considering the investment should also clarify the exam scope and fee, as well as the discount code’s terms of use.
Why should you check the time?
NVIDIA’s page lists both 09:00 PST and 09:00 CET for the same event. Since these two listings do not match, prospective attendees should not rely on either line alone. Check the current schedule on the registration or event access page to confirm the exact start time.
The announcement focuses on explaining the new certification offerings, helping attendees choose a suitable path, and introducing preparation options for selected exams. The live Q&A will also provide an opportunity to ask questions. However, the source page does not list which exams will have new practice tests, one by one.

This session is a direct opportunity for technical teams considering credentials in AI and infrastructure to learn about their options. For architecture and visualization firms, however, it offers a general overview of AI roles and certification options rather than training tailored to the design tools they use.
Teams in Turkey should not treat the 50% discount offer as sufficient on its own; they should confirm which exams it applies to and how much the exams cost. The two different start times listed on the page also need to be verified before registration. Since no hardware or software compatibility information is provided, attendees should review the session details before expecting it to deliver specific workflow benefits.
