Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer (CLAD)

CLAD is the first step in the three-part NI LabVIEW certification process. It indicates the ability to read and interpret LabVIEW code, as well as a broad understanding of LabVIEW core features and functionality.

Recommended experience level is either:

  • LabVIEW Core 1 and 2 training with 3 or more months of LabVIEW development
  • 6 or more months of LabVIEW development experience

Learn Structured Design Practices with LabVIEW Core 3

While the LabVIEW Core 1 and 2 courses introduce you to the LabVIEW environment and application development, LabVIEW Core 3 teaches you structured practices to design, develop, test, and deploy LabVIEW applications. By incorporating these practices early in your development, you avoid unnecessary application redesign, increase VI reuse, and minimize maintenance costs.

Certified LabVIEW Developer (CLD)

CLD is the second step in the LabVIEW certification path. It indicates the ability to create functional, well-documented LabVIEW code with minimal development. CLDs can use the CLD logo and are listed on ni.com.

Recommended experience level is either:

  • LabVIEW Core 1, 2, and 3 training with 9 or more months of LabVIEW development experience
  • 12 to 18 months in developing medium to large applications in LabVIEW
