An ART certification is not necessary to teach Rhino. In 1999, customers and teachers asked McNeel to come up with a way to certify a Rhino trainer for their Rhino knowledge and ability to teach Rhino. This includes familiarity with Rhino resources, support forum and other materials. The ART and ARTC certifications were established in 2000.
There are basic ART requirements, however your region may require additional qualifications.
In summary, an ART is not required to just do Rhino classes, but it is required to post your Rhino classes to our Learn page of the rhino3d.com web site.
A: Anyone can download and install the 90 day Evaluation of Rhino. The educational license is restricted to students and faculty of accredited schools/colleges/universities. See Proof of Educational Status here.
A: There is no annual fee to be an ART. However, ART are required to keep their Rhino current. You typically plan on a new release of Rhino every 3-5 years. Your region may have a deadline for updating your Rhino and have additional requirements (typically a test or a video) for certifying an ART with a new release of Rhino.
