Finish the Year Strong With Skills That Stand Out
At the end of every year, teams reflect on what drove the most impact. According to McKinsey’s State of AI in 2025 research, the organizations that scale AI successfully are the ones investing heavily in upskilling their technical teams and strengthening AI fluency across engineering roles.
As we head into the holiday season, this edition of the NVIDIA Training newsletter focuses on one theme: finishing strong with skills that position you for 2026. Below are programs, events, and resources to help you upgrade your expertise in AI infrastructure, agentic AI, simulation, accelerated data science, and more.
Let’s dive in.
End-of-Year Certification Promotion
The final month of the year brings your best opportunity to validate your technical skills. You can take advantage of 50% off all NVIDIA certification exams when you register between December 1 and 31.
Whether you work in generative or agentic AI, OpenUSD, accelerated data science, or AI infrastructure and operations, this is the ideal time to build credentials backed by the world leader in accelerated computing. If certification has been on your to-do list, this one-time global offer is the moment to commit.
Finish the year certified. Start 2026 with an edge.
If earning a credential is part of your 2026 goals, you can take the next step by preparing early. The upcoming AI infrastructure webinar is the perfect place to start.
Webinar, January 29: Prepare for the AI Infrastructure Certifications
As more enterprises scale their AI workloads, the demand for specialists who understand cluster design, accelerated compute and storage, orchestration, networking, and system reliability continues to rise. If AI infrastructure is part of your role today or part of your career plan for 2026, this webinar was built for you.
In this global session, NVIDIA experts will walk through the full portfolio of AI infrastructure certifications. You’ll gain clarity on exam paths, preparation strategies, and what to expect from the new professional-level hands-on exams launching in 2026.
What you’ll gain:
If you’re looking to expand your hands-on experience even further, the next major opportunity arrives in December at SIGGRAPH Asia.
SIGGRAPH Asia 2025: Learn, Build, and Experiment
If your work intersects graphics, simulation, robotics, or spatial computing, SIGGRAPH Asia 2025 is the place to explore the next era of industrial and creative innovation. NVIDIA sessions and hands-on labs will guide you through applied AI, OpenUSD, robotics workflows, and real-time simulation technologies that are powering breakthroughs across industries.
This is your chance to deepen your expertise with training designed for graphics engineers, researchers, simulation developers, and technical artists.
And if you want to continue your learning journey into the new year, GTC 2026 offers an expanded program designed for developers and infrastructure practitioners seeking hands-on technical training.
Get Ready for GTC 2026
NVIDIA GTC returns March 16–20 with an expanded training program. Registration is now open. This year features nine full-day instructor-led workshops created specifically for engineers, developers, and technical leaders building solutions in deep learning, LLMs, AI infrastructure, and physical AI.
Workshops at previous GTCs sold out early, and demand for 2026 is already high. You’ll also have access to training labs across key technology domains and the ability to take NVIDIA Certification exams onsite.
Choose your workshop and secure your spot while seats are still available.
If you prefer to train at your own pace before the conference season begins, several new developer and AI infrastructure courses are now available.
